As the world's population continues to age, it's more important than ever to understand the mechanisms behind aging. Nestlé is exploring science-based nutritional solutions for specific age-related health conditions, such as muscle loss and physical fatigue.
Age-related muscle decline, known as sarcopenia, contributes to lower physical performance and frailty and impacts quality of life in older populations. In two recent studies, Nestlé scientists have discovered specific mechanisms that impact muscle decline and identified specific bioactive ingredients that target these hallmarks of aging.
"Aging impairs the regenerative capacity of muscles at the cellular level," said Dr. Pascal Stuelsatz, Senior Specialist for muscle growth and recovery at Nestlé Research. "Our study identified a novel solution that can target regeneration and mitigate age-related muscle decline with nutrition."
