💁🏻‍♀️ What if protein could do more than build strength — but actually protect your brain by boosting BDNF and slowing cognitive decline?

Muscles are not just for strength. They act as an endocrine organ that releases myokines, such as irisin and cathepsin B. These signals reach the hippocampus, stimulating the production of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), often referred to as "brain fertilizer." BDNF is crucial for memory, synaptic plasticity, and neurogenesis. ✨

The Importance of BDNF

Research shows that BDNF levels decrease by 20–30% after the age of 65 (Nat Rev Neurosci, 2017). Individuals with less muscle mass are at a 2–3 times higher risk of cognitive impairment (JCSM, 2020). Resistance training combined with exercise can effectively increase BDNF levels (Meta-analysis, 2020).

Exercise for Muscle Maintenance and Brain Protection

Ages 30–40

Muscle loss ranges from 3–8% per decade.
Engage in 150 minutes of cardio weekly.
Include resistance training (RT) twice a week.
Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) once a week.
Focus on compound movements like squats, push-ups, and deadlifts.

Ages 50+

Muscle quality begins to decline.
Aim for 150–180 minutes of cardio weekly.
Perform RT 2–3 times a week with progressive overload.
Include HIIT once a week.
Enhance balance and mobility through targeted exercises.

Ages 60+

Experience muscle loss of ≥1% per year.
Complete 120–150 minutes of cardio weekly.
Prioritize RT three times a week.
Include HIIT once a week with intervals of 10–15 minutes.
Combine RT with quality protein and recovery strategies to combat sarcopenia.

Ages 70+

Muscle power declines rapidly.
Aim for 120 minutes of cardio weekly (walking, cycling, swimming).
Focus on RT three times a week, emphasizing power training (sit-to-stand, grip training).
Include HIIT once a week (30-second fast walks for five rounds).
RT serves as a "medicine" to slow frailty and dementia.

The Role of Powco Protein

🥥 POWCO PROTEIN offers a unique advantage:

Coconut Peptide: Easily digestible, providing amino acids within 20–45 minutes.
HMB + BCAA: Reduces muscle protein breakdown by ~20% and increases muscle protein synthesis by ~12%.
4 Plant Matrix: A blend of coconut, pea, pumpkin, and sunflower proteins.
Prebiotic FOS: Enhances nutrient absorption.
L-Carnitine + Multi-Vitamins: Supports metabolism.

📈 Evidence clearly indicates that quality protein combined with RT 2–4 times a week helps maintain muscle, reduce cognitive decline, and enhance overall health.
