Timing of protein building block may be key to fighting muscle loss in aging
NCT ID NCT06567665
First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether taking leucine (a protein building block) right after exercise, either with a meal or between meals, helps older men build more muscle. As we age, muscles become less responsive to protein and exercise, leading to weakness and frailty. Ten healthy men aged 65-75 will participate to find the best timing for leucine to boost muscle repair.
