After age 60, muscle mass can decrease by 1–2% per year, leading to reduced strength, slower metabolism, and higher fall risk.
This process involves fewer satellite cells for repair, increased inflammation, and hormonal shifts. Everyday signs include fatigue during walks, difficulty rising from chairs, or lingering soreness.
Research from sources like the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle highlights that protein intake, including specific types like collagen, combined with resistance exercise, may help slow this decline.
Dietary choices matter—quality protein sources support synthesis pathways like mTOR. One convenient option? Dissolving collagen peptides into hot beverages like coffee.
Potential Benefits of Adding Collagen Peptides to Coffee
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, supporting connective tissues, skin, and muscles.
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are easily absorbed and studied for sarcopenia support. Many products blend them with MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) powder for added creaminess and energy.
Here’s a look at evidence-based ways this addition may contribute to muscle health:
