After 40, Your Body Is Quietly Stealing Your Strength. Sarcopenia isn’t just about aging—it’s the silent decline of muscle mass, strength, and function. It begins lurking at 40, accelerates after 65, and drastically increases the risk of falls, disability, and even death. The underlying culprits are complex: neurodegeneration, hormonal fluctuations, protein metabolism disorders… Supplementing with high-quality protein may be the key to hitting pause. And yeast protein, with its high concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and gut microbiome-regulating effects, is emerging as a "dark horse" in the fight against muscle loss. In the future, our battle against sarcopenia won’t just be about "slowing decline"—it’s about launching a true Muscle Revival Plan.
