Title: Innovations by Marion Jourdan in Nutritional Science
Introduction
Marion Jourdan is an accomplished inventor based in Utrecht, Netherlands. He has made significant contributions to the field of nutritional science, particularly in the area of muscle preservation and protein synthesis. With a total of 2 patents, Jourdan's work focuses on innovative nutritional compositions aimed at improving health outcomes for overweight and obese adults.
Latest Patents
Jourdan's latest patents include two notable inventions. The first patent addresses muscle preservation in overweight or obese adults during weight loss programs. This invention involves a nutritional product that contains a composition comprising between 50-300 kcal, 10 g to 35 g of proteinaceous matter, and at least 2.5 micrograms of vitamin D. The findings suggest that nutritional supplementation with a low-caloric, protein-rich composition, particularly whey protein and leucine, can synergistically preserve muscle mass during weight loss programs that include a hypocaloric diet and resistance exercise.
The second patent focuses on a low-caloric high-protein nutritional composition designed to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. This invention is particularly relevant for preventing or treating conditions involving muscle decline in mammals, especially the elderly. The nutritional composition comprises at least 12 g of protein per 100 kcal, with a significant portion derived from whey protein and leucine. This composition is intended to be administered in 1 to 2 servings daily, each containing between 80 and 200 kcal.
