In Part 1 of this episode, we discussed how muscle loss can lead to sarcopenia and frailty syndrome. In Part 2, I will explain additional nutrients that can benefit overall muscle health.†
I really want to focus on why beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) should be at the core of rebuilding muscle and strength in aging people.†
A study published in the journal BMC Geriatrics looked at people 70 years of age or older who were living in nursing homes. The researchers said that exercise and HMB supplementation are separately effective in improving the strength and the health of older people, so they wanted to see if the effects were even better if these two factors were combined. The subjects of the test were 104 frail, older adults who were developing frailty syndrome. The study lasted for 24 weeks. The researchers found that when people who were frail were put through a guided exercise program, it could really mean something.†
A meta-analysis of clinical trials also looked at the impacts of HMB. They found that HMB alone or HMB with exercise helps to bolster muscle mass in older people with a variety of clinical conditions. They said that there was strong evidence that this supplement can help support muscle strength and muscle mass.†
If you took 100 products used in the gym, only a handful of them actually work for supporting muscle health and muscle building. HMB is one of these, as well as creatine monohydrate and whey protein.†

There are also non-gym related supplements that may help people facing muscle loss. This includes Vitamin D, calcium and fish oils. Drinking green tea and eating green, leafy vegetables can also help. We also know that ubiquinol, the active form of coenzyme Q10, can help.†
In this episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. continues his discussion on muscle loss. He focuses on the important role HMB plays in muscle health and also delves into the importance of stretching.†

Most people have felt tired at some point in their life, but what causes this fatigue? Is it due to lack of sleep, stress or missing nutrients in the body?†
Oftentimes, people will ask us what they should take when they’re feeling sluggish. Should they turn to something like Ubiquinol or should they look at ginseng? They’re both really good options, but I want to differentiate between the two so you can understand your needs better.†
Coenzyme Q10 is naturally-occuring in the human body. We can have our serum blood levels of this nutrient tested to see how much of it is circulating throughout the body. Supplementing with CoQ10 can help set you up for more optimal energy coming out of the cell. We have two different options: our Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol) 600mg and our Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol) with NADH.†
As we get older, the body’s efficiency in terms of the manufacturing of Coenzyme Q10 begins to diminish. When that happens, then you can start to feel more and more of that sluggishness. CoQ10 is also a very powerful antioxidant in the body, so these decreasing levels can impact your ability to fend off free radicals.†

Panax ginseng is a plant. Ginseng has been utilized for hundreds and hundreds of years as a medicinal treatment for so many different human health conditions. In the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, they were looking at ginseng for people who were suffering from fatigue. If we’re really having a lack of energy, then we would want to consider adding in additional energy support supplementation via ginseng.†

When the question comes up of what you should take when you’re feeling like you’re sluggish and lacking energy, I always say take both Coenzyme Q10 and ginseng. The Ubiquinol is required by the body, so if we’re lacking it, we want to replenish it. Then, we can add ginseng for an added bonus. Our Energy HxⓇ, for example, is going to yield you that Asian ginseng, along with Kaneka Ubiquinol. This is a good way to partner up the two nutrients.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses the importance of making sure your body has the nutrients it needs to create and maintain adequate energy levels. She explains the difference between Coenzyme Q10 and ginseng and also details how these nutrients can work synergistically to support energy.†
