Potential of Natural Swiftlet Nest Extract in Muscle Repair and Growth
In a groundbreaking development, M-Style Holdings, based in Fukuoka, has successfully patented a technology related to the swiftlet nest extract, a product of their BI-SU brand. The extract is noted for its potential to promote the muscle repair and enhancement mechanisms through a process known as myofiber differentiation. This significant innovation arises from collaborative research between M-Style's unique research institution, the Swiftlet Nest Research Institute, and various academic organizations, including national universities.
Research Findings
1. Promotion of Myofiber Differentiation
Research indicates that the swiftlet nest extract could enhance the differentiation process of myoblasts into mature muscle fibers. This process is crucial for muscle recovery post-injury and contributes to the strength of newly formed muscle. In cellular experiments, the extract showed a remarkable 1.5-fold increase in the expression of muscle fiber markers, implying accelerated recovery and muscle growth.
2. Improvement in Walking Ability and Strength Enhancement
Moreover, studies point towards significant improvements in walking abilities and grip strength. Participants consuming the swiftlet nest extract demonstrated an impressive 1.2-fold enhancement in grip strength, suggesting that the extract may support functional recovery and boost physical performance.
3. Increase in Muscle Cross-Sectional Area
Another vital finding revealed that intake of the swiftlet nest extract led to an approximate 1.3-fold increase in muscle cross-sectional area. This result underscores the extract’s potential to foster both muscle growth and repair.
Patent Information
Based on these compelling findings, particularly the technology that promotes myofiber differentiation, M-Style Holdings successfully secured a patent, designated as:
- - Title: Muscle Repair Enhancer and Food Composition for Muscle Repair
- - Patent Application Number: 2024-139319
This patent focuses on the innovative method where swiftlet nest extract significantly aids the process of muscle repair and growth.
Future Prospects
Looking ahead, M-Style Holdings aims to deliver this remarkable scientific evidence to enhance everyday wellness as soon as possible. As part of this initiative, BI-SU is embarking on the development of their first protein product, targeting optimal body performance by merging aesthetic functionality with strength. The mission resonates with producing scientifically-backed solutions for uncompromised muscle repair and enhancement, igniting inspiration for athletes eager to surpass previous benchmarks.
M-Style Holdings is committed to further unraveling the unknown powers embedded in natural swiftlet nests, amplifying research efforts to share these benefits with a broader audience.
