We are looking to build our network of experts exploring innovative dietary solutions that enhance muscle strength and support in the aging population (40+). We are specifically interested in researchers developing novel nutrients or formulations with proven or potential effectiveness in addressing sarcopenia. Our goal is to collaborate with leading universities and organizations within 1-2 years to test these solutions and bring them to wider use.

Topics of interest

• Novel nutritional ingredients with preliminary muscle support data
• Known nutritional ingredients with novel/promising muscle support data
• Age-specific nutrient blends for muscle support in the elderly population

Required qualifications

• Experience with mobility or sarcopenia research with a focus on nutritional interventions that address muscle loss and function in aging populations
• Experience with pre-clinical models aimed at testing the efficacy of novel nutrients for enhanced mobility and/or muscle support

Nice-to-haveWe're open to experts who have experience with:

• Muscle loss associated with weight loss particularly in the context of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) drugs for weight loss
• Development and testing of dietary interventions (dietary supplements; oral nutrition supplements; tube feeding) with a deep understanding of formulation and safety assessments
• Nutrition and healthy aging with demonstrated contributions to improving mobility in aging populations or advancing the understanding of sarcopenia mechanisms and prevention
• Clinical translation of research findings
• Clinical trials to validate efficacy claims of dietary solutions
• Nutraceutical research for women aged 40-45+

What's out of scope

• Researchers focused primarily on pharmaceutical compounds
