Overview

Muscle makes up about 40% of the body, making it essential for everyday physical activity.

With age, people tend to lose muscle. There are however ways to combat this loss, exercise being one, and especially weight training.

Maintaining a good diet is also essential, and protein is a key component of that. Protein supports muscle mass by providing amino acids which the body uses to make new proteins and new muscle. Consuming quality protein, spread across the day, is a proven way to help maintain muscle mass as we age, allowing people to keep active and mobile.

A quality diet is proven to promote optimal physical performance and maximise recovery post exercise.

Everyone wants to achieve the most out of their active lifestyle, whilst at the same time maintaining good all round health. To ensure the right adaptations and the greatest performance gains, promoting recovery is essential. Recovery covers many areas, such as rehydration, repair and immunity, and high-quality dairy nutrition can help with all three.

Dairy is full of ingredients that support energy, bone and muscle health and immunity, to help people keep performing at their best and feeling great.

Muscle growth helps improve sports performance, strength gain, and helps people look and feel better.

Gaining more muscle is an effective means to getting strong, and a major component of muscle strength is its size. The larger size is driven by increases in the protein components in the muscle that enable contraction. The more contractile tissue, the greater strength.

By consuming high-quality dairy protein after training, you can help stimulate muscle protein synthesis, actively producing new muscle tissue, that adds up over time to more muscle, greater strength and increased performance.
