World Sarcopenia Day July 4th 2023

World Sarcopenia Day (July 4th 2023) serves as an opportunity to raise awareness and knowledge for the prevalent disease, sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a muscle disease that can drastically impede upon individuals physical function, independence, and overall quality of life. It is therefore vital that attention is given to appropriately diagnosing and managing this disease in order to maintain and promote overall well-being. Join us in celebration of this important day! On this page you will find materials that describe the disease in more detail, the appropriate management and treatment approaches, as well as the evidence to date on the muscle-targeted oral nutritional supplement containing ActiSyn™ (100% whey protein, leucine and vitamin D) and its key role in sarcopenia management.
