Muscle quest: Developing products to promote lean mass – digital magazine

Muscle is at the core of movement.

Exercise and adaptation are important foundations for muscle development, and recovery is a crucial stage requiring increased management of inflammation and oxidative stress. Consistent, adequate and high-quality sleep has become a more recognized component of overall muscle management plans, including supplementation and diet.
