The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies (excluding animal/petri-dish studies) to tell you what what supplements affect Functionality in Elderly or Injured
| Grade | Level of Evidence |
|---|---|
| A | Robust research conducted with repeated double blind clinical trials |
| B | Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
| C | Single double blind study or multiple cohort studies |
| D | Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
| Level of Evidence | Supplement | Change | Magnitude of Effect Size | Scientific Consensus | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B | Dehydroepiandrosterone | Most evidence measuring functionality in elderly persons have not found any improvement with DHEA supplementation, although it is possible that DHEA may play a role | |||
| B | S-Adenosyl Methionine |   Minor | Somewhat of an increase in functionality of elderly persons, most likely secondary to the beneficial effects on joint health. | ||
| C | Creatine | Minor | Possibly an effect, but the less reliable effects of creatine in the older population (which seem to respond less) seems to manifest here. | ||
| C | Nitrate | 100% See study | No significant influence has been noted on functional tests in elderly persons given nitrate supplementation | ||
| C | Kaempferia Parviflora | Minor | 100% See study | Grip strength has been found to be increased in elderly persons associated with supplementation at low doses | |
| C | Vitamin D | Notable | 100% See study | An improvement in muscular and neural functionality in the elderly is thought to underlie the reductions of fall risk and reduced bone fracture rate seen in elderly cohorts | |
| C | Krill Oil | Minor | 100% See study | The increase in functionality appears to be secondary to reductions in symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis | |
| D | Vinpocetine | Minor | 100% See study | An improvement in balance has been noted with vinpocetine ingestion in the elderly, which may be related to the attenuation of cognitive decline |
