In this infographic, see the role muscle plays in overall health, and why maintaining muscle matters

COVID-19 patients often suffered from malnutrition and sarcopenia. In addition, patients may have other complications of organs and gastrointestinal symptoms, resulting in the risk of malnutrition which can compromise their immune system and the severity of disease complications, leading to unfavorable clinical outcomes in both short- and long-terms.

Early nutrition intervention help support patients:

Improve nutrition intake, fast recovery and muscle strength.

Reduce the disease complications

The Role of Amino Acids and Their Metabolites in Supporting Muscle Health in Aging and Illness

HMB (ß-hydroxy-ß-methylbutyrate): A scientific review New Perspective on Lean Body Mass

HMB supplementation reduces post exercise muscle damage, and thuscaccelerates recovery. It also allows for increases in lean body mass, improved strength and aerobic capacity.

The branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) leucine acts as both a ‘trigger’ for the initiation of protein synthesis, and as a substrate for newly synthesized protein.The observation that HMB enhances muscle protein anabolismmay partly (or wholly) underlie its pre-defined anabolic/anti-catabolic supplemental efficacy in humans

Undernutrition and resultant muscle loss (muscle atrophy), as associated with aging and disease, can lead to adverse health and economic consequences. Nutrition and exercise are key to growth and maintenance of muscle promoting overall health, well-being, and recovery from disease.

HMB can prevent the development of sarcopenia in elderly subjects and that the optimal action of HMB on muscle growth and strength occurs when it is combined with exercise.
