Dietary supplements to preserve muscle during GLP-1 weight loss
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
