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.
