Abstract:
Myostatin is a protein in the human body that inhibits muscle growth and is implicated in age-related muscle-wasting disorders like sarcopenia. Recent studies suggest that Robusta coffee, known for its high antioxidant content, and exercise may influence myostatin levels, potentially offering therapeutic benefits for muscle health. The purpose of this literature review is to explore the effects of Robusta coffee consumption and exercise on myostatin levels and assess their potential as strategies for enhancing muscle health and managing muscle-wasting conditions. A total of 46 research papers published between the years 2019 to 2024 were accessed and used for this review that met the criteria. This review highlights that coffee consumption and exercise may show promise in lowering myostatin levels and improving muscle health.
