Abstract

Supplementation use in athletes is common and increasing in popularity, especially for adults seeking improvements in athletic performance. However, the effects of supplementation for older adults or Masters athletes in improving athletic performance or musculoskeletal health are less well explored. The aim of this narrative review is to explore common supplements, namely protein, caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine, nitrates, and peptides, including collagen, body protection compound-157, and thymosin-beta 4 and 500, in improving performance or musculoskeletal health in Masters athletes and adults over 55 years of age.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
