Description
Junhee Lee and colleagues feed a blend of amaranth protein hydrolysate and Korean mint extract to mice with cancer related wasting, in a 2026 study. Wasting, called cachexia, drains muscle and fat and weakens patients. Tumour bearing mice received the blend by mouth for 14 days at two dose levels.
Weight loss eased, muscle and fat stores were partly preserved, and grip strength improved. Blood inflammation signals fell, muscle breakdown genes quieted, and a growth pathway switched back on. Fat tissue also shifted away from wasteful browning toward storage. The blend is proposed as a nutrition strategy, pending human study.
