Muscle Formula

Sarcopenia, also known as muscle loss is a common condition effecting men and women over 50. On average, adults will lose 3% of their muscle strength and mass every year after 40. This loss of strength and muscle can result in increased risk of injury, decreased balance and risk of falls, fast onset of fatigue resulting in a lesser quality of life and even a shortened life expectancy. (1,2,3,4,5) 

How can we stop this? With adequate amounts of specific proteins and exercise. Older adults tend to have less protein in their diets and this contributes directly to muscle wastage. Increasing your protein intake with specific amino acids like the ones in Muscle Formula will help you maintain and even grow your muscles especially in conjunction with strength training (6)

Muscle Formula contains the key ingredients to help you stop your muscle shrinking and even grow. Our hydrolysed protein is quickly and easily digested to support your muscles and aid your recovery from exercise. Hydrolysed  whey protein is high in the amino acid L-leucine. L-leucine has been shown to significantly improve muscle wastage (sarcopenia) in individuals above 50 (7,8) and a must for anyone looking to stay fit, strong and health over 50.

If you’re looking to get stronger, maintain or build more muscle and recover faster from your daily exercise and activities, Muscle Formula is your perfect choice.
