As we age, maintaining strength and stamina becomes increasingly vital for an active and fulfilling life. Fortunately, there are natural supplements that can assist in this journey. Essential amino acids (EAAs) and beet root offer a wealth of benefits that address the unique needs of individuals aged 50 and above.
Myohealth™ — 9 EAAs for Muscle Mass & Function
TriVita’s Myohealth is a great-tasting, easy-to-mix powder that contains all nine essential amino acids shown to build lean muscle, improve recovery time and improve stamina at any age. Essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, play a crucial role in preserving muscle mass and function. With age, muscle loss becomes more prevalent, impacting mobility, balance and overall quality of life. By ensuring an adequate intake of EAAs through diet or supplementation, older adults can support muscle repair, growth and maintenance, thus enhancing strength and resilience.
Moreover, EAAs aid in reducing the breakdown of muscle tissue during physical activity, which becomes increasingly important as we age and recovery time lengthens. By providing the necessary nutrients for muscle recovery, EAAs help older adults stay active and engaged in their favorite activities without experiencing excessive fatigue or soreness.
Nitric Oxide Plus — Beet Root for Blood Flow & Endurance
In addition to EAAs, beet root emerges as a powerful ally in the quest for enhanced strength and stamina.
TriVita’s Nitric Oxide Plus is another great-tasting, easy-to-mix powder. It contains concentrated beet root, two additional amino acids shown to improve vasodilation and blood flow, and a mild blood thinner known as horse chestnut. Rich in nitrates, beet root promotes better blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles, which can be particularly beneficial for aging adults dealing with cardiovascular issues or decreased aerobic capacity. Improved blood circulation not only boosts energy levels but also supports better endurance, allowing individuals to engage in physical activities for longer durations with less effort.
Combining the benefits of essential amino acids and beet root offers a comprehensive approach to maintaining strength and stamina in older age. Whether it’s enjoying daily walks, participating in fitness classes or pursuing outdoor hobbies, incorporating these natural supplements into one’s routine can make a significant difference in overall vitality and well-being.
By prioritizing nutrition and supplementation tailored to their specific needs, individuals can continue to lead active, fulfilling lives, embracing each day with strength, stamina and vitality at any age.
