Gestärktem

Gestärktem is a German adjective form derived from the verb stärken (to strengthen). It represents the past participle gestärkt used in attributive position and declines to match gender, number, and case. The specific form gestärktem occurs in the dative singular masculine and neuter, for example after prepositions that require the dative, such as mit: mit gestärktem Magen or mit gestärktem Immunsystem. In other cases the endings differ: gestärkter in nominative masculine or feminine, gestärktes in neuter, and gestärkte in feminine, depending on whether the article is definite, indefinite, or none.

Usage: gestärktem is common in medical, nutrition, and fitness language to describe something that has been strengthened or fortified. It is not a separate lexical item with independent meaning; it is the declined form of gestärkt and functions as an adjective.

Examples: Mit gestärktem Magen kann man scharfe Speisen besser vertragen. This illustrates the dative masculine form after a preposition.
