Supplements to improve fitness in older adults with muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special drink (MediDrink Platinum+) and a bean protein supplement can help improve fitness and muscle strength in older adults who are malnourished and have muscle loss. If you are 60 or older, underweight, and have lost muscle, this trial may offer a way to see if these supplements can help you get stronger.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 25 or less.
- You are malnourished (scored less than 11 on a mini nutritional assessment).
- You have muscle loss (sarcopenia) — for example, a SARC-F score of 4 or more.

- You have not used any dietary supplements in the last 3 months, and do not have diabetes, kidney disease, or other conditions that need a special diet.

This study tests whether a daily protein drink can help improve muscle function and strength in people aged 60–85. Researchers will compare a new protein supplement called PeptiStrong with regular whey protein to see which works better.
This trial tests if taking leucine and omega-3 fatty acids can improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with low muscle health. It looks at people who have lost muscle and strength or walk slowly.
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 study tests whether a lifestyle program combining exercise and nutrition can help adults over 50 improve their muscle strength and function. You'll work with researchers to see if this approach helps with mobility and overall health.
This trial tests an experimental medicine called PLH-2301 to see if it can help improve muscle strength and function in people with age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). It may be an option if you are 65 or older, have been diagnosed with sarcopenia, and can walk on your own.
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.
