Omega-3 rich fish oil supplements may enhance the results of a resistance training regimen for older women with sarcopenia, with greater gains recorded for muscle strength and physical performance.
Quercetin supplements combined with low-intensity resistance exercise may improve measures of muscle stiffness in older people and may benefit those at risk of sarcopenia.
A 12-week RCT funded by Mitsubishi Corporation Life Sciences has shown that nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) intake has significantly improved certain aspects of muscle mobility, especially gait speed and left grip strength – which the company says presents...
A group of experts in Asia has finalised 14 consensus statements around muscle health in healthy elderly and those suffering from sarcopenia, including recommendation for protein, leucine, and L-carnitine supplementation.
As CRN enters a second decade of advising the annual CODEX meeting on science-based nutrition, an official of the trade group said he’s continually reminded that patience is a virtue.
A group of researchers argue that a methionine restricting diet may be the best way to reverse the damage a high fat diet can do to the muscles of older obese subjects.
A new dileucine ingredient that leads to over 40% more muscle building potential than leucine alone is being commercialized by start-up Ingenious Ingredients, with the company already “vetting exclusive top-tier distribution and marketing partners”.
Adding Kerry’s GanedenBC30 probiotic to milk protein may boost the absorption of select amino acids, such as arginine and isoleucine, while other amino acids were more quickly absorbed, says a new study.
Vitamin D is involved in many physiological functions that decline with age, and low levels of the substance contribute to frailty and increased risk for negative health outcomes. Conversely, frailty itself may contribute to lower vitamin D by reducing...
