For the adults, maintaining muscle health and strength through good nutrition is key to a healthy, independent lifestyle. Hence, Abbott launched its new Ensure Gold formula the first in Malaysia with the nutritional ingredient HMB which helps the body regain strength.
Healthy muscles are essential to maintaining our strength and the ability to do the everyday activities that make life meaningful and fulfilling. Most people are not aware that starting in their 40s, healthy adults can naturally lose up to 8% of muscle every decade, and after 70, that rate almost doubles up to 15%.
“Adults in Malaysia, particularly those above 40, should start making muscle health a priority and take action to preserve their muscles. Stronger and healthier muscles will pave the way for a stronger and healthier tomorrow, especially in a fast ageing society like Malaysia,” says Professor Tan Maw Pin, Council Member at the Malaysia Healthy Ageing SOciety (MHAS) and Professor of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Malaya.
Abbott’s Low Yen Ling, Director of Research & Development at Abbott’s Nutrition Asia Pacific Centre commented, “The good news is, while aging is a natural process, muscle loss can be slowed down or reversed. It is important that we nourish our muscles as we age, by getting the right amount of nutrients, especially protein and vitamin D. However, in reality, the majority of adults do not get the daily recommended nutrients required for a healthy and active life. This can have an impact on their strength and energy, or even how they recover if they’ve had an illness or injury.”
“That is why Abbott has been focused on pioneering scientific research for over 15 years in the ingredient HMB. HMB is a metabolite of the essential amino acid leucine and has been shown to help the body regain strength. Ensure Gold is scientifically formulated with HMB in Asia as a complete, balanced nutrition supplement to improve strength as early as 8 weeks,” added Dr Low.
