1. (NU) - Did you know age-re-
lated muscle loss starts when you
turn 30? Whether we like it or not,
muscle starts to deteriorate with
age. This age-related muscle loss
is known as sarcopenia. Sarcope-
nia springs from many factors, in-
cluding inactivity, inadequate pro-
tein intake and increased levels of
the regulatory protein myostatin,
which regulates muscle growth.
Clinical studies have shown that
high levels of myostatin can lead
to reduced muscle mass.
Sarcopenia impacts overall
health as well. Age-related mus-
cle loss can limit the ability to
perform everyday activities and
increases the risk of developing
type 2 diabetes and obesity as
well as cardiovascular, neuro-
logical and orthopedic diseases.
However, there are steps to
take to help mitigate the effects
of sarcopenia.
Exercise
Moderate physical activity,
plus resistance training, may help
promote muscle growth and re-
duce the impact of sarcopenia.
Eat right
Adequate protein intake is an
important part of a healthy diet, es-
pecially with age, to help maintain
muscle health.
Nutritional supplements
Rē Muscle Health products
feature the revolutionary bionu-
tritional supplement Fortetropin,
described on MYOS Corporation’s
website as “the only safe and nat-
urally occurring myostatin in-
hibitor available with clinically
demonstrated positive effect on
both muscle thickness and lean
body mass compared to placebo.”
MYOS’Rē Muscle Health nu-
trition products are formulated to
help protect and preserve lean,
healthy muscle tissue. The prod-
uct line includes bars, powders
and meal-replacement shakes de-
signed to be used daily to supple-
ment a sensible workout regimen,
or simply as part of a regular,
healthy diet to help promote mus-
cle health and lean body mass.The
products contain a 6.6 gram full
serving of Fortetropin along with
20 grams of protein.
In clinical trials, Fortetropin,
the active ingredient in Rē Mus-
cle Health products, was associ-
ated with a reduction in myo-
statin levels, as well as an
increase in lean body mass and
muscle thickness.
Dr. Buzz Aldrin, astronaut
and member of the company’s
board of directors, uses the
products daily.
“I am pleased that Rē Muscle
Health is tailored to the aging
population as well as athletes
and the fitness community,” not-
ed Dr. Aldrin, a former intercol-
legiate athlete and pole vaulter,
in a company press release.
“MYOS is doing important,
groundbreaking work in muscle
health, and I rely on Rē Muscle
Health products to help me
maintain my lean muscle. They
taste great and I’ve seen tremen-
dous results,” Dr. Aldrin said.
