Anabolic Capital Preservation

Meaning

Anabolic Capital Preservation refers to the sustained maintenance of lean tissue mass and the underlying protein synthetic capacity, particularly when facing catabolic challenges such as caloric restriction or aging. This concept emphasizes retaining functional muscle architecture rather than solely focusing on acute strength gains. Clinically, it reflects the efficiency of the body’s machinery to utilize available resources for structural maintenance. Preserving this capital is fundamental for long-term metabolic health and functional longevity.
