Reporter brief
RCT of polyphenol supplementation combined with 12-week exercise in older adults tested feasibility and physical performance.
What happened
A randomized controlled pilot feasibility trial examined whether polyphenol supplementation combined with 12 weeks of supervised resistance and aerobic exercise could improve physical function and muscle health in older adults compared to placebo. Participants received either a polyphenol blend or maltodextrin placebo while completing the exercise program. The study included exploratory analysis of muscle biopsies and plasma samples to assess cellular and molecular effects.
