Summary
This early-stage trial at the Cleveland Clinic is studying how a specific type of hyaluronic acid (HA35) affects muscle protein in 24 healthy adults. Participants take either HA35 or a placebo capsule for three days, then undergo tests including muscle biopsies and a gut permeability test. The goal is to understand the basic mechanisms, not to treat any disease.
