Magnesium supplements to build muscle strength in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking magnesium supplements helps prevent muscle loss and weakness in people age 70 and older. Researchers believe magnesium may help maintain muscle mass and strength as we age.

This trial tests whether taking creatine HCl can help older adults with muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve muscle strength. If you are over 60 and have weak grip strength, this study might be for you.
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 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.
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 exercise and nutrition can help prevent bone weakening and muscle loss in middle-aged adults. You'll participate in a prevention program designed to keep your bones and muscles strong as you age.
This study tests if a combination of a medicine (nandrolone), physical therapy, and a special diet can help older adults with muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and muscle mass. It is for people age 60 to 99 who have been diagnosed with sarcopenia based on specific muscle strength and mass measurements.
