Benefits of Immunocal® in older adults
Discoveries in scientific study
A recent study reveals that Immunocal®, an innovative supplement, has been shown to increase muscle strength in older adults. The results of this research, which will be published in the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging, are considered a significant advance in the field of health and aging.
The study, carried out in collaboration with the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal, has shown that the addition of Immunocal® to the diet of older adults between 65 and 88 years old resulted in a 10% increase in muscle strength, with statistically significant results . This finding is crucial given that aging is often accompanied by a decrease in muscle strength, which can impact the quality of life and independence of older people.
Testimonials from health and nutrition experts
Dr. Rémi Rabasa-Lhoret, specialist in endocrinology and leader of the research, highlights the importance of maintaining and improving muscle strength in old age. On the other hand, Dr. Antony Karelis, co-investigator of the study, highlights the additional benefits of Immunocal® compared to other proteins, especially in improving muscle strength in the legs.
Health professionals, such as kinesiologists and nutritionists, could consider including Immunocal® in exercise and nutrition programs intended for older adults. These findings open new research possibilities in the field of health and aging.
Study details and key results
Methodology and participants
The study, which was approved by Health Canada, recruited 99 non-frail older adults, of whom 76 were women and 23 men, aged between 65 and 88 years. The participants were divided into two groups, one that consumed Immunocal® daily and another that ingested a casein protein as a control. Both groups completed a resistance training program for 135 days.
The results showed a significant increase in muscle strength in both groups, but the group consuming Immunocal® experienced an additional 10% increase, suggesting a positive impact on the participants’ physical capacity.
