- Weight loss can lead to a reduction in muscle mass, affecting strength and function, especially in middle-aged men with severe obesity (BMI > 35 kg/m).
- A study with 40 male participants tested the effects of various supplements (control, protein, branched-chain amino acids, and a specific essential amino acid blend) during a low-calorie diet and exercise program.
- Results showed significant muscle mass gain in the group receiving the essential amino acid blend (PD-E07), while the other supplement groups did not show meaningful differences compared to the control group; more research is needed to confirm these findings.
