Apple compound tested as natural muscle booster for seniors
NCT ID NCT07562698
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a supplement made from apple pomace (a byproduct of juicing) can improve muscle strength and physical function in older adults with mild sarcopenia—age-related muscle loss. About 105 people aged 65–80 will take either a low or high dose of the supplement or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if handgrip strength improves, along with other measures like walking speed and quality of life.
