Study on supplements to improve strength and thinking in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if two supplements, HMB and 2-HOBA, taken alone or together, can help improve muscle strength and mental function in healthy adults over 65. The goal is to see if these supplements can improve overall quality of life.
