Creatine Supplements During GLP-1 Weight-Loss Therapy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding creatine (a natural muscle-building supplement) helps preserve muscle and strength while taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy. These medications help with weight loss but can sometimes cause muscle loss, so researchers want to see if creatine prevents that.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are about to start or have just started a GLP-1 medication (like semaglutide, tirzepatide, or similar)
- You are 18 years old or older
- You pass a safety screening about your current physical activity level and health status
- You do not have any medical conditions that would make exercise or physical activity unsafe for you

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 study looks at how GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs (used for weight loss) affect muscle mass and strength in people with obesity who do not have diabetes. It may help understand if these medications impact muscle health.
This study tests whether taking creatine and doing weightlifting exercises can help men with prostate cancer who have been on hormone therapy for at least 6 months to improve muscle strength and size. It lasts 12 weeks and involves supervised workouts three times per week.
This study looks at whether certain dietary supplements can help preserve muscle mass while you are taking a GLP-1 medication for weight loss. You would take the supplements or a placebo for a period while continuing your GLP-1 treatment, and the researchers will measure changes in your muscle and strength.
This study looks at whether exercise can help prevent muscle loss in people taking GLP-1 medications (like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro) for weight loss. It may help you keep your muscles strong while you lose weight.
This study tests whether a 12-week program of exercise and personalized nutrition can help adults who are obese and taking GLP-1 weight-loss medications maintain muscle and bone while losing fat. It aims to improve strength, fitness, and overall function during treatment.
