Protein drink may help seniors regain strength and independence
NCT ID NCT07322653
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special protein drink called MediDrink Platinum+ can improve muscle strength, physical function, and overall well-being in adults aged 60 and older who have muscle loss (sarcopenia) and are malnourished. Participants will take the drink alone or with an added protein ingredient for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if it helps them perform daily activities more easily and regain independence.
