info_outlineIn this episode, we dive deep into the science of muscle health with Dr. Chris Meletis, exploring why maintaining muscle mass is critical as we age and how MYOS MD's revolutionary supplement, Fortetropin, can play a pivotal role in combating muscle loss.
Key Topics Covered:
-
The Importance of Muscle for Longevity:
- Muscles act as the currency of longevity, influencing metabolism, physical functionality, myokine production, hormone balance, and overall musculoskeletal health.
- After age 40, muscle loss (sarcopenia) accelerates, with lean body mass decreasing by 1-2% annually and strength declining 1.5-5% per year. This impacts mobility, independence, and systemic health.
-
Understanding Myostatin and Its Role:
- Myostatin is a natural protein that inhibits muscle growth, preventing excess muscle accumulation.
- While beneficial in early development, elevated myostatin levels with age, injury, or illness can exacerbate muscle wasting and hinder recovery.
-
How MYOS MD's Fortetropin Helps:
- Fortetropin, derived from fertilized chicken egg yolk, is clinically proven to lower myostatin levels and support muscle protein synthesis.
- Benefits include:
- Increased muscle mass and strength.
- Reduced muscle breakdown.
- Enhanced recovery after injury or surgery.
- Clinical trials show an 18% increase in protein synthesis in older adults after just 21 days of supplementation without changes to diet or exercise.
-
Applications of Fortetropin:
- Protecting lean body mass during weight loss, especially with GLP-1 treatments or bariatric surgery.
- Supporting recovery from injuries or surgeries where muscle atrophy is a concern.
- Enhancing physical performance for athletes and active individuals.
-
Practical Insights and Dosing:
- Typical starting dose: 6.6 grams per day.
- Easy to incorporate into daily routines—mix with shakes, yogurt, or water.
- Pair with amino acids, CoQ10, and a protein-rich diet for optimal results.
-
The Bigger Picture:
- Dr. Meletis explains how muscle health impacts metabolic function, bone density, and overall aging.
- Strategies to combat sarcopenia include resistance training, balanced nutrition, and innovative interventions like Fortetropin.
