One of the major reasons, older people have problems accomplishing the same physical tasks they did when they were younger is a condition known as sarcopenia. This is a term used to describe the natural loss of muscle mass and strength that occurs with getting older. Muscle strength and bulk peak in the mid twenty’s and then begins a slow decline thereafter. At around age 60, muscle loss declines rapidly.What is responsible for sarcopenia? With aging, declines in hormonal effects such as testosterone and insulin-like growth factor (I-GF) contribute to this problem. Both of these hormones are important for maintaining muscle strength, muscle bulk, and muscle function. The onset of a

If you are a diabetic and taking medication to control blood sugar levels, it is best to have your blood sugar monitored while taking these herbs. Consult your doctor to adjust the dosage of medications accordingly, so that the blood sugar doesn't drop too drastically. It is likely that one will eventually be able to taper off the herbs and medication, and control sugar through exercise and diet.
