Vitamin D3 and creatine for muscle health in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a combination of vitamin D3 and creatine can help older adults with mild mobility problems maintain or improve their muscle function. If you have minor trouble with walking, stairs, or getting in/out of a car, this trial may offer a simple way to help keep your muscles strong.
