Yeast protein for muscle preservation on weight-loss medication
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a yeast protein supplement to help you keep muscle while losing weight on a GLP-1 medication. It lasts 12 weeks and involves regular check-ins, body scans, and muscle tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 25 and 50 years old.
- Your BMI is 24 or higher, which means you are overweight or have obesity.
- You are either about to start a GLP-1 weight-loss medication or have started one within the past 4 weeks, and you plan to continue it for at least 12 weeks.
- You have no known allergy to yeast protein, whey protein, or milk products.

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 trial tests a special medical food to help keep muscle mass while losing weight with GLP-1 medications like liraglutide, semaglutide, or tirzepatide. It's for adults with obesity or overweight with related health issues.
This trial tests a weight-loss medication (GLP-1 receptor agonist) combined with dietary protein to see if it helps protect muscle while losing fat. It is for adults with obesity who are not taking certain other medications or supplements.
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 trial tests whether adding resistance exercise and extra protein can help you keep your muscle while taking weight loss medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide. It is for people with a BMI of 27 or higher who are not already exercising regularly.
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.
