Tomatidine is an anabolic chemical compound that prevents muscle wasting.

[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.
