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]
