Tomatidine is an anabolic chemical compound that prevents muscle wasting.[1] It is naturally found in leaves of tomatoes and green tomatoes.[1] Chemically, it is the aglycone of tomatine. It has been shown to have multiple health benefits.[2] Tomatidine is an inhibitor of skeletal muscle atrophy, and a potential therapeutic agent for aging-associated sarcopenia, reducing weakness and atrophy in aged skeletal muscle by interaction with the ATF4 (a critical mediator of age-related muscle weakness and atrophy).[3][4]

Dietary supplementation with ~0.04% tomatidine for 10 weeks reduces plasma cholesterol and atherosclerosis in ApoE-deficient mice without evidence of toxicity.[5]

Research

It is investigated as compound to increase longevity and it increased lifespan and healthspan of C. elegans.[6] It is also investigated in osteoporosis.[7][8]
