Citrulline Supplement for COPD Patients with Weight Loss
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking oral citrulline (a supplement) can help improve nutrition and muscle strength in people with advanced COPD who are underweight and have muscle loss. If you have severe COPD and are losing weight or muscle, this study may be a way to see if citrulline can help you feel stronger and healthier.
