She does everything right: takes her iron supplement daily, eats her meat and spinach, sleeps enough, and gets bloodwork done when her doctor asks. But six months later, her ferritin has barely moved, she still fades at mile eight of every long run, and her coach is suggesting she double her dose.

DL185® for Sarcopenia and Anti-Aging: Muscles Need a Faster Leucine Signal
Sarcopenia is often described as muscle loss, but that framing understates the real problem. What aging adults lose isn't just mirror-muscle. After 50, strength declines two to three times faster than mass,[1] which means the things that actually matter go first: rising from a chair, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, catching yourself before a fall.

GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed weight loss. Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide are delivering results that would have seemed nearly impossible a decade ago.
