  Nutrient Synergy and Musculoskeletal Health in Gerontology: Exploring Macronutrients and Micronutrients\' Combined Impact
  Author(s): Alesia Stigmatukta*
  
  As the global population ages, maintaining musculoskeletal health becomes increasingly important to preserve mobility, independence and overall quality of life among older adults. While individual macronutrients and micronutrients have been extensively studied for their roles in musculoskeletal health, emerging evidence suggests that nutrient synergy, the combined impact of multiple nutrients, may exert greater benefits than isolated nutrient supplementation. This review explores the concept of nutrient synergy in the context of musculoskeletal health in gerontology, focusing on the interplay between macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Key topics covered include the synergistic effects of nutrients on bone density, muscle mass, strength and physical function in aging populations. Additionally, the r.. Read More»
