Daily consumption of a protein‐based, multi‐ingredient nutritional supplement resulted in gains in strength (Δ ∑1RM: +14 ± 4 kg, p=0.001) and lean mass (Δ WBLM: +1.2 ± 0.3 kg, p=0.001) independent of exercise in older men.
Practitioners can consider recommending a multi-ingredient nutritional supplement to older men to enhance strength and lean mass.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Following 6 weeks of supplementation (Phase 1: SUPP/PLB), subjects in the SUPP group demonstrated substantial gains in strength (Δ ∑1RM: +14 ± 4 kg, p=0.001) and lean mass (Δ WBLM: +1.2 ± 0.3 kg, p=0.001), whereas no change in either outcome was observed in the PLB group.
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled study design.
