Functionality of Supplements and Anti-aging: Functionality of Supplements—Musculoskeletal and Sports

Maintaining musculoskeletal function is important in preventing diseases and care, and extending healthy lifespan. In modern life, where transportation and communication technologies have developed, factors that reduce physical activity and physical strength are accumulating, and anti-aging measures for the musculoskeletal system are desired. Supplements have been considered to complement nutritional intake from meals to enhance the function of skeletal muscles and bones. Traditionally, in the field of sports, functional materials and supplements have been verified to enhance musculoskeletal function, but this evidence can also be applied to anti-aging (Fig. 118.1).
