Hi,

 

My  mother is currently 66 Years old and despite a mild osteoporosis she is ok either mentally and physically.

 

She eats healthy and went to the gym until 2 years ago (2 times a week) but she had to take care of my daughter for the last 2 years and couldn’t make it until now.

 

Following my advice she was taking D3 and K some time ago, but she is not taking them regularly. Also,  I’m convincing her to go back to the gym again.

 

With the current knowledge, what kind of supplementation (if any) would be advisable or lifestyle changes? I was thinking about C60 OO but not sure about it…

 

Many thanks!

 

Bruno

I'd recommend up to 40 grams of whey protein to go with the exercise, it's beneficial for muscles and might also have some effect on bone density. Whey also has other general health benefits.

I'd rather suggest protein pulsing at that age if anything in this regard. http://ajcn.nutritio.../69/6/1202.full

Gomesbs;

The whey protein is a given, and the pulsing theory looks good.

 

I am 63 and a male weighing 200 lbs., so the quantities of protein I use will be greater than she needs.

 

I found that after 50 or so I began to lose muscle mass more easily even though my workouts remained consistent over the years.

 

I personally consume 60 – 80 grams of Whey / Casein mix along with another 30 – 40 grams from nonfat skim milk.

This is from the 3 or 4 shakes I have each day. I also use Psyllium Husk in each shake.

 

I also eat 3 – 4 whole food meals usually consisting of grilled chicken breast and fresh veggies.

 

I can also recommend Olive Leaf extract with each meal / shake. This prevents viral replication for most strains. I have not had a cold in over 10 years.

 

I have also had great results from NIAGEN. It is expensive but really seems to boost the energy levels.

 

After testing NIAGEN I also started using C60 Olive Oil,(experimental and possibly risky) and that added some more benefit.

 

My next step is Epitalon (experimental and possibly risky) 5mg/day sub Q 20 days on 90 days off, depending on how I feel.

 

I honestly feel that those of us in our 60s who start right away will be around to see the amazing developments that are on the horizon for 10 – 20 years from now, and benefit from them to the extent that at 100 we will be the same as when we were in our 30s.

 

Best of luck.

Looks interesting. 

 

To clarify, the 40 grams of whey is the recommended serving for older subjects, as the muscles seem to become somewhat more resistant to leucine-triggered protein synthesis during aging. In 20 yo subjects, similar effect can be had from as little as 20 grams of whey, but older subjects need more than that. High leucine plasma level from eating most of the protein during one meal is probably the cause behind the protein pulsing effect in the article above, as well.

 

IIRC it's been suggested that optimal dosage/frequency for young subjects is something like 20 grams of whey every 4 hours. 4 hours or so seems to be the timing when most of the protein synthesis from previous amino acid uptake has ended, and muscle leucine sensitivity has recovered. I'd suspect elderly might benefit from more than one pulse per day, as long as the leucine content per pulse remains high.

 

If you're not sure you are taking enough relatively fast protein at one time, I'd take my protein with 1-2 shakes rather than split it over 3-4.
