1. Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is a syndrome caused by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle, strength and function decline, with the growth of age, skeletal muscle mass from 30 years of age to decline 0.1 percent ~0.5 percent a year, significantly accelerated after 65 years of age, at the same time with the reduction of muscle strength, resulting in elderly people standing difficult, slow walking, easy to fall and fracture, sarcopenia can also affect organ function, it can lead to heart and lung failure and even death. Studies have shown that branch chain amino acids have a direct promoting effect on the growth and repair of skeletal muscle. Supplementing branch chain amino acids can effectively prevent or delay the occurrence of sarcopenia. Dietary supplementation of branch chain amino acids has also become the main intervention means for sarcopenia.

Yeast protein is a kind of high quality natural complete protein rich in branched chain amino acids. Because of its advantages of high raw price, green, safe and sustainable, yeast protein is widely used in common food and functional food, and it is a high-quality food raw material. Yeast protein has become a good external supplement for branched chain amino acids as a new force for intervention in reducing sarcopenia in the elderly.
