oligopin® and the prevention of sarcopenia


The laboratory UPCDM (Unit Proteolysis Muscle Growth and Development) of the University of Bordeaux 1, specialized in studying the mechanisms of muscle degeneration associated with age (sarcopenia), has just published a study(*) highlighting the role of certain oxidative processes in the onset and development of sarcopenia. The use of oligopin® reduced very significantly the phenomenon. This new study reinforces the idea of using bioavailable and natural antioxidants and devoid of toxicity at used doses, to fight against the deleterious effects of oxidative stress.
