Description
Saeede Saadati and seven co-authors test a dietary compound for muscle and bone health in adults with diabetes in a 2024 trial analysis. Diabetes raises the risk of weak bones and muscle loss. Chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and sugar-damaged proteins all feed that risk. Carnosine, a small compound found in meat, counters all three in lab work, but no trial had checked its effect on the musculoskeletal system.
The parent trial assigned 49 adults with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes to carnosine or a dummy pill for 14 weeks. None had existing muscle or bone disease. The dose was two grams a day. Body scans measured bone and lean mass. This secondary analysis mines that trial for the musculoskeletal outcomes. A safe supplement effect would be welcome news in diabetes care.
