Diet and muscle building in active women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests how different foods or diet patterns work together to help your body build more muscle protein. It’s designed for active, pre-menopausal women who are not pregnant and have regular cycles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 40 years old
- You are pre-menopausal
- You are recreationally active (exercise a few times a week)
- Your weight has been stable for the last 6 months
- You are not pregnant
- You have regular menstrual cycles (about every 21–35 days)

This study compares how muscle protein responds to resistance exercise in women who use birth control pills versus those with natural menstrual cycles. Participants will do exercise sessions and have muscle samples taken to see how their bodies build protein.
This study compares the effects of a diet containing beef versus a plant-based diet on how well your body builds muscle protein. It aims to find which diet better supports muscle strength and function in healthy older individuals.
This study looks at how continuously high levels of amino acids (protein building blocks) affect muscle growth in healthy young men. It aims to understand if your muscles can still respond to extra amino acids when they are already elevated.
This study tests whether simple body measurements can accurately predict muscle health in healthy young adults. It may help develop easier ways to assess muscle function without complex equipment.
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 compares how well beef protein and plant protein help build muscle in older adults who may be starting to feel weak or lose muscle. You'll eat test meals and have your muscle response measured using a safe, stable isotope technique.
