Summary

This leucine-enriched protein gummy (as a gummy bar/slab) will be studied to address age-related loss of muscle mass and strength/function in older persons. The product is small volume (approximately 35 g per serve) and low energy (approximately 100 kcal per serve). It is easy to chew and swallow with the consistency of a firm Jello. In addition, it contains an effective dose of leucine in a high-quality protein matrix consisting of milk proteins. Understanding the efficacy of this product on changes in levels of blood amino acids and the molecular signaling required to enhance muscle growth will provide helpful insight for the suggestion of supplemental use.
