New Nestlé research says bioactive nutrients nicotinamide (NAM) and pyridoxine (PN) can accelerate muscle growth and repair. It also finds a polyphenol from olives helps boost energy and muscle performance. Meanwhile, other studies suggest curcumin can provide muscle relief and recovery. NAM and PN are recognized by the US FDA and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for their safety in human use. They work by stimulating resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs). The study highlights their potential to address MuSC dysfunction during muscle loss. Researchers found that the two nutrients are linked to muscle decline during aging.
