Psicose

Psicose is a natural and low-calorie sweetener. Psicose can activate the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway to promote muscle synthesis. Psicose can upregulate IGF-1 and downregulate Myostatin. Psicose regulates mitochondrial function by increasing G6P activity. Psicose enhances antioxidant enzyme activity and reduces oxidative stress markers. Psicose reduces plasma triglycerides and total cholesterol. Psicose can improve muscle fiber size and reduce fibrosis. Psicose can be used for research on sarcopenia[1].
