Leucine supplement for muscle building in older men
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests if taking a leucine supplement (an amino acid found in protein) can help older men build muscle more effectively. You may be eligible if you are a healthy, non-smoking man between 65 and 75 who does not currently do weight training.

This study looks at how continuously high levels of amino acids (protein building blocks) affect muscle growth in healthy young men. It aims to understand if your muscles can still respond to extra amino acids when they are already elevated.
This study tests whether a special whey protein drink helps build muscle in older adults, both at rest and after exercise. It compares a leucine-enriched protein to regular protein to see which works better.
This trial tests whether a supplement made from milk fat globule membrane can improve muscle function in healthy adults who are recreationally active. You'll take the supplement daily for 12 weeks and have your muscle function measured.
