Whey protein and strength training for muscle loss
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding whey protein drinks and simple strength exercises can help people with intestinal failure build muscle. It lasts 6 weeks and checks your muscle before, during, and after the program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic intestinal failure, meaning your intestines can't absorb enough nutrients on their own.
- You have low muscle mass, which the study will confirm.
- You are willing to follow the 6-week program and attend check-ups at the start, at week 6, and at week 8.
- You are not allergic to whey protein.
- Your kidneys are functioning well (no severe kidney disease).

This study looks at whether adding protein drinks and a simple strength training program can help people over 45 who are taking weight-loss medications build muscle, lose more fat, and feel better overall.
This trial tests whether taking protein-collagen supplements and doing resistance exercises can help people maintain muscle after bariatric surgery. It may be a good fit if you are between 20 and 50 years old, have a BMI of 35 or higher, and are not pregnant or in menopause.
This trial tests whether adding dietary protein can help skeletal muscles recover and function better in people living with heart failure. It may help with strength, muscle wasting, and overall ability to do daily activities.
This trial tests whether taking extra protein and doing resistance training helps people keep their muscle mass after bariatric surgery (stomach reduction or gastric bypass). If you're scheduled for this surgery and can follow the program, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a special whey protein drink helps build muscle in older adults, both at rest and after exercise. It compares a leucine-enriched protein to regular protein to see which works better.
This trial tests whether increasing protein intake plus using a gentle electrical muscle stimulation device can help maintain or build muscle mass in older adults while they are hospitalized. It may help prevent muscle loss that can happen after short hospital stays.
