Facts about Sarcopenia
- Sarcopenia is also known as age-associated muscle loss.
- Observational studies reveal that a man's muscle mass and strength peak between his teens and 30s. Following this, both undergo a steady decline.
- The average man can lose up to 8% of his muscle mass per decade after age 40. Strength may drop even faster.
- By 2015, it has been estimated that over 100 million men will suffer from sarcopenia.
- Contributing factors: Anabolic resistance, low testosterone (andropause).
Facts about Andropause
- The chief androgen in men is testosterone.
- Andropause is also known as age-associated testosterone decline or deficiency.
- Between 35 and 40 years of age, men begin to experience a drop in circulating testosterone concentrations of approximately 0.8% per year. Free testosterone levels fall more rapidly, by 2-3% per year.
- Free testosterone is the fraction of circulating testosterone that is not bound to blood proteins. It is therefore available, or "free", to produce physiological effects in the body. This is why free testosterone is considered to be so important.
- Symptoms of andropause can include deteriorations in energy, mood, libido, erectile performance, stamina, muscle mass and strength.
- Contributing factors: Recent research suggests that andropause is not an inevitable consequence of aging. Contributing factors include excess body fat, stress, diabetes, and lack of exercise.
Facts about Age-Associated Fat Gain
- Starting as early as 30 years of age, an increase in fat mass (body fat) occurs in conjunction with muscle loss (sarcopenia).
- Contributing factors: Decreased levels of key fat-burning enzymes, impaired thermogenesis, and decreased metabolic (calorie-burning) rate.
The MATURE MUSCLE STACK: Tackle "The Big Three" and get your physique back.
Stack Component #1: MUSCLE PROVIDER, UMP, or PROVOSYN.
We all know that the combination of resistance exercise and protein is your most powerful weapon against sarcopenia. It triggers an anabolic response in your muscles that, if repeated over time, causes them to become bigger and stronger.
Anabolic Resistance
Research indicates that as you get older, your muscles' ability to mount an anabolic response to resistance exercise and dietary protein becomes blunted. Scientists refer to this as "anabolic resistance".
Anabolic resistance can be at least partly overcome by regular consumption of high-quality protein that is rich in the amino acid leucine. MUSCLE PROVIDER, ULTIMATE MUSCLE PROTEIN (UMP), and PROVOSYN are high-quality protein supplements containing several grams of leucine per serving, plus every other amino acid required to build and repair muscle tissue. This makes them especially well suited for men 40 years of age or older.
Usage tip: Enjoy a delicious shake made with 1 serving of your choice of Beverly proteins immediately after resistance exercise. Have a second serving 4-5 hours later to boost muscle anabolism again.
Stack Component #2: MUSCLE SYNERGY® (powder or tablets).
MUSCLE SYNERGY® contains multiple ingredients that act synergistically to help combat age-associated muscle and strength loss. One of these ingredients is HMB, a naturally occurring, clinically studied compound that has been shown to enhance the benefits of resistance exercise. HMB is believed to work by rebuilding muscle and alleviating or preventing muscle damage associated with exercise, thereby shortening recovery time.
Usage tip: For maximum results, it is important that you take the full dosage recommend on the product label. Be sure to take at least one of your daily servings of MUSCLE SYNERGY before your workout.
Stack Component #3: QUADRACARN.
Testosterone exerts its physiological effects in the body by binding to androgen receptors. Androgen receptors are found in cells throughout the body, including skeletal muscle tissue.
QUADRACARN contains four types of carnitine. One of these has been found to increase androgen receptor levels in muscle tissue. With more androgen receptors present, your testosterone signaling strength is improved. This is expected to enhance the effects of resistance exercise and shorten recovery times.
QUADRACARN also supports fat-burning metabolism, circulation, and sexual performance, among other benefits.
Usage tip: Carnitine takes some time to accumulate in your body. Therefore it is important to take QUADRACARN every day, according to label directions. Don't miss a dose.

Stack Component #4: 7-KETO MUSCLEAN.
7-KETO MUSCLEAN helps the 40+ man conquer age-associated fat gain. The driving force of this formula is 7-Keto®. 7-Keto® is a clinically studied form of 7-keto-dehydroepiandrosterone, a naturally occurring substances that is usually abbreviated as "7-keto".
By the time you reach 40, your production of 7-keto may have dropped by 40% and continues falling for the rest of your life. 7-Keto® helps restore youthful levels of 7-keto and is clinically proven to produce three times more weight loss than diet and exercise alone.
7-Keto® is thought to work by restoring levels of fat-burning enzymes, as well as thermogenesis and metabolic rate. It is supported by three clinical trials, all double-blind and placebo-controlled in design.
Usage tip: The clinical dose of 7-Keto® is achieved by taking two servings of 7-KETO MUSCLEAN daily. Follow label directions.
Stack Component #5: JOINT CARE
When we think of muscle, we often forget that a good portion of muscle consists of connective tissue. In fact, every time you lift a load, your connective tissue bears the bulk of it. It's no surprise that it undergoes serious wear and tear, particularly at age 40 and beyond.
JOINT CARE is a perfect addition to your Beverly MATURE MUSCLE STACK. It contains ingredients like boron, hyaluronic acid, MSM and glucosamine that work synergistically to support a healthy inflammatory response and provide relief from joint discomfort and stiffness.
Usage tip: Take JOINT CARE with meals.
Here's how to get the most benefit from the Mature Muscle Stack.
- Combat age related muscle loss with UMP and Muscle Synergy. Ideal times are: Breakfast or mid-morning UMP and/or Provosyn with one serving of Muscle Synergy. Immediately before training: 1 serving Muscle Synergy Immediately after training: 1 serving Muscle Provider (or UMP) 4-5 Hours after training: UMP and/or Provosyn.
- Combat andropause with 2-3 servings of Quadracarn per day. Take 3 tablets twice daily on non-workout days, and 3 tablets three times daily on workout days. (One serving just prior to workout.)
- Combat Age-Associated Fat Gain with 7-Keto MuscLean. Take one serving (3 capsules) in the morning and another pre-workout or in the afternoon.
- Combat Joint and Connective Tissue wear and tear with Joint Care. Take 3 capsules twice daily with meals.
