claimOne of the most conspicuous manifestations of aging is the insidious reduction of skeletal muscle mass and strength, a phenomenon referred to as sarcopenia, which is intricately associated with frailty, an elevated risk of falls, and metabolic dysregulation (,).

claimHistorically, proteins derived from animals, such as those found in dairy, have been regarded as superior to their plant-based counterparts due to their elevated EAA content and more advantageous digestibility profiles (,).
