How to Support Muscle Function with Age: Top Evidence-Based Supplements

Data suggest certain supplements, such as L-carnitine, vitamin D, and essential minerals, support muscle function and physical performance in adults of advanced age.

Researchers from University College London review data supporting that supplements, like vitamin D, L-carnitine, and essential minerals, support muscle function during aging.

Bruce N. Ames, PhD, reveals his 11 longevity vitamins — molecules that activate long-term health enzymes — as part of his Triage Theory of aging. 

Triage Theory is named after the assortment system the French Army used during World War I called Triage, which prioritized the treatment of injured soldiers.
