Nutrition drink for strength and memory in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a special nutrition drink (with protein, fish oil, and vitamin K2) to see if it helps older adults keep their strength, memory, and overall independence. Participants are followed for 12 weeks and get either the drink or a placebo.

This trial tests whether a safe nutrition supplement can help older adults with malnutrition maintain immune function and energy (mitochondrial function). It may support recovery during rehabilitation, but you must meet specific nutrition and health criteria.
This study tests a special diet plan called ReMIND to see if it can help older adults keep muscle strength, stay sharp mentally, and improve overall nutrition. It may be helpful for those who have trouble getting enough food and want to stay independent as they age.
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 study tests whether a special drink (MediDrink Platinum+) and a bean protein supplement can help improve fitness and muscle strength in older adults who are malnourished and have muscle loss. If you are 60 or older, underweight, and have lost muscle, this trial may offer a way to see if these supplements can help you get stronger.
This study tests whether a special drink containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs, a type of fat) and B vitamins can help support memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You would take the drink daily for 18 months and have regular check-ins including memory tests.
This trial tests whether a nutritional supplement can help slow or improve memory loss in older adults who have mild cognitive decline (noticeable changes in thinking skills that are not yet dementia). You will take a daily supplement and attend regular check-ups.
