Whey protein for muscle building in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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 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 checks how different doses of “Super-whey” influence muscle protein building in adults. It may help figure out the best whey dose for building muscle, especially in older adults.
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.
This study tests whether a whey protein drink can help improve blood sugar control in people aged 70-90 with type 2 diabetes. It involves 5 visits to a research center over a few weeks.
This study looks at whether a special protein drink can help build muscle better than a placebo when combined with strength training. If you are a healthy young adult who is new to weight lifting, this trial may help you build muscle more effectively.
This study compares how well the body uses protein from milk versus protein from wheat to build and maintain muscle. You will consume specially prepared drinks, and researchers will measure how your body processes the protein to see which source works better for older adults.
