Multi-Component Nutrition, Intrinsic Capacity, and Physical Function in Older Adults
Sponsor: National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
Summary
To evaluate the effects of a 12-week multi-component nutritional formula on World Health Organization (WHO) Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) intrinsic capacity domains, physical function, and metabolic biomarkers in community-dwelling older adults. Besides, the investigators use standardized ICOPE Step 2 assessments, functional capacity scales, and metabolic biomarkers (including GDF-15, HOMA-IR, TyG index, LAP, and FIB-4) as outcome measures to validate whether the multi-component nutritional supplement could improve intrinsic capacity and health in older adults.

Multi-Component Nutritional Formula
Daily oral consumption of the multi-component nutritional powder dissolved in warm water for 12 weeks. The formula contains muscle-anabolic proteins (whey protein, yeast protein, leucine), bone-supportive nutrients (MBP, coral calcium, vitamins D3/K2), and bioactive compounds (mulberry leaf extract, astragalus, grape seed extract, phosphatidylserine, fish oil, and lutein).
matched placebo
Daily oral consumption of the matched placebo powder dissolved in warm water for 12 weeks. The placebo is calorie-matched (within 10% caloric difference) but contains no active proteins, free amino acids, calcium/vitamin D3/K2 supplements, fish oil, or botanical extracts.
