Abstract in brief

  • The study tested whether a nutritional supplement enriched with vitamin D and leucine-enriched whey protein could improve muscle mass and function in sarcopenic older adults over 13 weeks.
  • Both the supplement and control groups showed improvements in handgrip strength and SPPB scores, but the supplement group had greater gains in chair stand performance and muscle mass.
  • The results suggest that this targeted nutritional intervention can positively affect muscle mass and lower extremity function, potentially helping to prevent mobility disability in older adults with sarcopenia.]

The original questions was; can protein alone increase muscle function and that’s exactly what the PROVIDE study showed (on some function outcomes but not all): https://t.co/EK2RekcDGS (Bauer et al). I agree with @mackinprof protein seems to work better when VitD levels corrected https://t.co/S96O9FF3xi

Two good studies show that whey supplementation is 1 effective in improving muscle mass in elderly https://t.co/JxelV8sHxv 2 useful in sports performance and recovery https://t.co/jNOxWCSkER As one is a network metanalysis, so there is some quality evidence 9/
