First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a combination of branched-chain amino acids and medium-chain triglycerides in 80 adults aged 50 and older with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). The goal was to see if the supplement could improve muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. While the approach aims to manage the condition, ongoing use of the supplement would likely be needed to maintain benefits.
