Yeli, you are so right on with red blood cells. What determines how long a supplement is to stay in your body and produce effects depends on one's own pharmacokinetics (no, I didn't make that term up. It's a more explanatory term than "metabolic processes"). If someone has a high rate of metabolism (and therefore the excretion of a particular supplement/drug/hormone etc), this means the substance has less time in the body and therefore less of a chance to be efficacious (in other words, less time to do it's intended job).
