What Would Prove This
Per GRADE and EBM methodology, here is what ideal scientific evidence would look like to definitively prove or disprove this claim, ordered from strongest to weakest.
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Modified Muscle-Repair Proteins for Muscle Loss
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (both animal and human) examining the effect of modified versions of muscle-repair proteins on muscle mass or muscle loss outcomes.
Double-Blind RCT of Modified Muscle-Repair Protein vs Placebo in Sarcopenic Adults
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial enrolling older adults with sarcopenia, with treatment group receiving the modified protein, control receiving placebo, primary outcome being change in lean muscle mass over 6-12 months.
Controlled Mouse Trial of Modified Muscle-Repair Protein on Muscle Loss
A controlled experiment in genetically identical mice, with one group receiving the modified protein and control receiving vehicle, measuring muscle mass via DEXA or muscle histology over a period of muscle loss induction (e.g., hindlimb suspension or aging).
