Muscle Atrophy is the loss or thinning of muscle tissue which can result in decreased muscle mass and strength. Atrophy can occur due to malnutrition, age, genetics, lack of physical activity, or from certain medical conditions. When the muscles are not being used or dietary protein intake is inadequate, the body will start to breakdown muscle.
PeptiStrong™ is a plant-based bioactive peptide formula that is derived from fava beans. It promotes muscular maintenance while combating muscle loss. It was demonstrated that PeptiStrong™ promoted the expression of genes associated with protein synthesis and maintaining overall muscle health. The peptides target pathways that regulate cell growth and muscle protein formation as well as increase gene expression involved in muscle growth.
Research studies show PeptiStrong™:
- Promotes muscle recovery by 144%
- May help muscle loss and weakness
- Promotes muscular performance recovery by 54%
BCAA’s and HMB® contains amino acids as well as glutamine that can significantly maintain muscle mass. HMB®, a metabolite of leucine, has been shown to stimulate protein synthesis and decrease protein breakdown in the body. Another combination, Amino-9™, a blend of essential and branched chain amino acids has been shown to increase muscle protein synthesis by 50%.
Protein Intake, Exercise & Muscle Gain
- Protein intake goal all sources .65 to .75 x goal body weight.
- Resistance training exercise and good nutrition can help limit muscle atrophy and gain muscle mass.
