Creatine and HMB supplements for Down syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking creatine and HMB supplements can improve muscle strength, reduce inflammation, and increase muscle mass in people with Down syndrome. It may help if you or your loved one can do basic physical tests like standing from a chair and do not have kidney disease or severe mobility issues.
