Loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) has a profound effect on quality of life in patients, influencing a wide range of health parameters far beyond the obvious loss of strength and balance which signal the condition. In practice, sarcopenia lies at the heart of many chronic issues seen in patients, notably decreased insulin sensitivity and energy production. By helping to promote muscle synthesis and optimize muscle mass and function, the ingredients in SarcoSelect" can help promote positive clinical outcomes in patients, regardless of their chief complaint.

"Sarcopenia is independently related to hospitalization costs. This condition is estimated to increase hospitalization costs by 58.5% for patients aged below 65 years and 34% for patients aged at or above 65 years."
