• HMB — HMB, a leucine byproduct, gives older adults a small gain in muscle mass and strength in some trials.
• NAD+ Supplements — NR and NMN supplements raise blood NAD+ levels — by about 50% at 300 mg a day and more than double at 1,000 mg — and short-term use has been well tolerated.
• Protein Powder — Protein supplements added to resistance training give modest gains in muscle and strength.
• Tart Cherry — Tart cherry juice moderately speeds muscle strength recovery after strenuous exercise and may modestly lower serum uric acid.
