Sponsor: Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Sarcopenia is an age-related condition characterized by loss of muscle strength and physical performance, leading to increased risk of falls and disability. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of ursolic acid-standardized apple pomace supplementation on muscle strength and physical performance in older adults with mild sarcopenia. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 200 mg/day, 400 mg/day of the supplement, or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary outcome is change in handgrip strength, with additional assessments of physical performance, body composition, fatigue, and quality of life. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of the intervention.
