Summary
This study looked at whether taking a β-glucan supplement (from a type of fungus) along with regular exercise could improve muscle strength, mass, and function in adults with relative sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Over 12 weeks, 116 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo, plus exercise. The goal was to see if this combination could help manage muscle decline.
