Your body may begin to lose muscle mass as early as your 30’s, and after age 60, the rate of muscle loss increases dramatically for the majority of people, especially those who do not perform adequate weight-bearing exercises.

Many seniors do not consume (or metabolize) adequate amino acids to properly repair their muscles and bones. Many so-called protein sources, including meat, eggs, poultry, etc. are poorly digested and utilized. Sarcopenia occurs when muscle mass and strength decline due to age. This can cause people to become unable to keep up with daily activities, even climbing stairs. It also contributes to bone loss, a serious issue for many seniors, especially women.

Protein is composed of building blocks called amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids that our bodies need. Of these, nine are considered “essential”, meaning our bodies cannot make them and we must consume them from our diet. Aging bodies process protein/amino acids less efficiently and require more to maintain muscle mass and strength, bone health, and other essential physiological functions.

Experts suggest that even healthy seniors may need more protein/amino acids than when they were younger in order to preserve muscle mass. To find out how much you need, multiply your weight in pounds by 0.36. By this calculation, a 160-pound person requires approximately 58 grams of protein/amino acids per day.

The Power of Whey

When milk is processed to make cheese or yogurt, the remaining liquid is called whey. Whey protein surpasses whole egg, soy, beef, casein, or milk in its biological activity in the body and its ability to repair and build muscle tissue. Whey is also a rich source of branched chain amino acids (BCAA), which make up 1/3 of the amino acids in your muscles.

Whey protein contains all nine essential amino acids, unlike plant proteins. Studies show that seniors can gain lean muscle mass, even without exercising, by ingesting whey protein supplements. But please understand that much better results and long-term benefits occur with regular weight-bearing exercise.

Whey protein is helpful for weight gain for seniors who are too thin, and possibly weight loss for those who use whey protein to suppress the appetite by increasing leptin levels. The lactose content of our whey protein is very low, but some very sensitive people may still get a reaction. Whey is incredibly well tolerated. Did you know that whey is the only protein source (besides human breastmilk) that contains immunoglobulins, essential in maintaining immune system function?

Studies indicate that whey protein:

Promotes protein synthesis in the elderly*
Improves muscle performance*
Improves aerobic capacity*
Protects against sarcopenia*
Reduces the risk for falls*
Supports healthy immunity*
