Pork power: new study tests protein boost for women on GLP-1 meds
NCT ID NCT07480109
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding pork protein to the diet can help middle-aged women with overweight or obesity who are taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Wegovy) maintain muscle and improve well-being. Over 12 weeks, 75 women will continue their medication and eat protein-rich foods daily. Researchers will measure body composition, eating habits, and overall health before and after the diet.
