Nutrition is a Key Aspect for Women Staying Active and Defying the Effects of Aging
Protein fractions, including gelatin, collagen and collagen peptides are beneficial for ligament, tendon, and skin health
In spite of the many strides made in women’s health and nutrition, one of the key issues facing women is a very basic one: insufficient protein intake. Sarcopenia, the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, occurs far more frequently, and at a younger age (beginning around age 35), in women than in men. It is the primary factor leading to weakness and frailty in women as they age.
Because of this, one of the main ingredients needed to support women’s unique health and nutrition needs is bioavailable forms of protein to stave off the muscle wasting. Protein fractions, including gelatin, collagen and collagen peptides are also beneficial for ligament, tendon, and skin health.
