NCT ID NCT06950125
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a daily 15 mL drink called JUICE HA® can improve muscle mass, strength, and quality of life in people aged 65 and older with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure grip strength, walking speed, and other physical function tests to see if the supplement helps.
