HMB supplement for muscle strength in sarcopenia patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a daily supplement called HMB (a natural substance found in some foods) can help improve walking and strength in people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) who have recently spent time in bed. If you are between 50 and 99 years old and have weak muscles, this trial might help you regain function.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new approach to treat sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) by targeting a protein called HIF-1α. It compares older adults with sarcopenia to younger adults without it, all of whom are having hip or knee surgery.
This study tests a food product called HB05P to see if it can help improve muscle strength and physical function in people with low muscle mass. It includes a supervised exercise program and may help you maintain independence as you age.
This trial tests an investigational drug called AMC6156 to see if it can help improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will also follow exercise and nutrition guidance.
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 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.
This trial studies whether a vibration treatment combined with an HMB supplement can improve weak muscle quality and reduce early nerve-to-muscle connection problems. It is mainly for older adults who already have signs of low muscle strength or function.
