Whats the actual scientific basis for claiming that endurance supplements specifically enhance Zone 2 efficiency, as opposed to just general endurance or athletic performance? Many of these products seem to rely on testimonials and marketing hype rather than rigorous studies, so Id love to see some concrete evidence to support their claims. Are we talking about increased mitochondrial density, improved lactate threshold, enhanced fatty acid metabolism, or something else entirely? And how do these supplements interact with other factors that influence Zone 2 performance, such as training volume, intensity, and nutrition? It seems like theres a lot of variability in how people respond to these supplements, so whats the underlying mechanism thats supposed to be driving these benefits? Are we just talking about a placebo effect, or is there something more substantial at play?
