Lean Tissue Accretion

Meaning

Lean Tissue Accretion signifies the net accumulation of metabolically active mass, primarily skeletal muscle and bone mineral, within the body over time. This process is fundamental to maintaining robust metabolic health and physical function, particularly as individuals age. We prioritize this accretion as it improves glucose disposal capacity and basal energy expenditure. Achieving positive accretion requires a sustained anabolic stimulus exceeding catabolic processes.
