Dietary supplements have been shown to be beneficial for muscle and mitochondria
Washington: A new study has found that eating certain types of supplements can benefit the elderly in particular.
If a person takes multivitamin tablets or swallows turmeric compounds in capsules, they are called supplements in the language of medicine and their effectiveness has been debated for a long time.
Experimentally, when scientists fed people an important compound made in the intestine in the form of a pill, it showed positive effects on their muscles and observed changes in the level of mitochondria. This supplement is named Eurolythane A.
This supplement especially benefited the elderly who for some reason were unable to exercise and thus began to do light exercise. The study was conducted by David Marsink and colleagues at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Urolithane A is formed by bacteria, especially intestinal bacteria, after a long process. If you eat foods containing polyphenols and phytochemicals such as pomegranates, beans and brightly colored berries, this mixture is formed in the body. However, in old age this process stops and mitochondria are affected and thus muscles also start to be affected and exercise becomes difficult.
In the experiment, 66 people over the age of 65 were given 1000 mg of Eurolithane A capsules daily. After three to four months, their muscles improved, and their mitochondrial capacity improved.
