Omega-3 and whey for muscle strength in postmenopausal women
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking omega-3 and whey protein supplements helps older, postmenopausal women build or keep lean muscle (less fat, more muscle). It also checks safety, especially for heart and kidney health, while you follow a strength-exercise plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a postmenopausal woman (at least 1 year with no periods)
- You can do strength exercises and are physically able to train safely
- You can take and follow the supplement plan (omega-3 and whey)
- You have no major heart problems history, such as stroke or a recent heart attack
- You have normal kidney function and can provide a doctor’s clearance to exercise

This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This study checks how different doses of “Super-whey” influence muscle protein building in adults. It may help figure out the best whey dose for building muscle, especially in older adults.
This trial tests if taking leucine and omega-3 fatty acids can improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with low muscle health. It looks at people who have lost muscle and strength or walk slowly.
This trial tests whether a combination of a vitamin D-like drug (idecalcitol), whey protein powder, and a structured exercise program can help rebuild muscle strength and mass in people with sarcopenia. It lasts about 6 months.
This study tests whether exercise and nutrition can help prevent bone weakening and muscle loss in middle-aged adults. You'll participate in a prevention program designed to keep your bones and muscles strong as you age.
This trial tests whether adding protein powder to a resistance exercise program can improve muscle strength and mobility in people with sarcopenia, a condition of age-related muscle loss. It is designed for adults aged 35–75 who have low muscle strength and slow walking speed or other physical performance issues.
