Abstract
Description
Background technique
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods using calcium in combination with at least one of oleuropein or its metabolites. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to enhancing bioenergetics and mitochondrial function by combining calcium with at least one of oleuropein or its metabolites to promote mitochondrial calcium import, which in turn can enhance muscle contraction and muscle performance, thereby improving . Compositions and methods for maintaining muscle function or reducing loss of muscle function.
[0002] Sarcopenia is defined as age-related loss of muscle mass and function, including muscle strength and walking speed. Muscle function and physical capacity decline with loss of muscle mass. The incidence of loss of mobility, disability, and death at advanced age is highly predicted by impaired muscle function. Sarcopenia is becoming more prevalent with a growing geriatric population, with 45% of the ...
