Summary

This study tests whether a daily ketone supplement can improve muscle strength, mobility, and immune function in adults aged 65 and older who are starting to feel weaker. Over 20 weeks, 180 participants will either take the ketone drink or a placebo. Researchers will measure physical performance, blood markers, and overall well-being to see if the supplement helps slow age-related decline.
