The Claim
Insect supplementation may improve muscular strength in humans when combined with exercise, although current findings are limited by inadequate control of dietary and physical activity variables.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking insect supplements might help you get stronger if you're also working out, but we don't have solid proof yet because other lifestyle factors weren't well tracked.
