Lean tissue is associated with health and those with higher amounts of lean tissue are conferred better health. Optimising the amount of bone and muscle is therefore important for health. Calcium, along with vitamin D, lysine and protein can all be used to optimise lean tissue. Calcium and vitamin D for example work together to optimise bone tissue as vitamin D is needed for calcium absorption and also to ensure the calcium is retained in bone. Dietary protein is needed to optimise skeletal muscle tissue as protein provides the structural protein for muscle regeneration. Lysine can support the optimisation of skeletal muscle tissue because it can provide additional growth stimulation to muscle tissue on account of its ability to cause the release of growth hormone. Combinations of protein, lysine, calcium and vitamin D, along with a healthy high quality balanced diet can therefore significantly improve the health of the individual by optimising the growth and regeneration of lean tissue.
