Sleep apnea amino acid study pulled before it started
NCT ID NCT01115686
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if taking branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) could improve oxygen levels during sleep in people with sleep apnea. The researchers planned to include adults with confirmed sleep apnea but exclude those with severe cases. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
