Study Summary

This trial will investigate if Urolithin A can help prevent muscle decline during illness or injury when people can't use their muscles.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy, non-smoking men aged 18-30 with a BMI of 20-30 kg/m^2. Participants must not have orthopedic issues affecting the knee, gastrointestinal conditions, excessive alcohol use, or allergies to study ingredients. They can't be on certain medications or supplements that affect muscle health.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if adding Urolithin A to a protein supplement helps maintain muscle health during periods when participants can't use their muscles due to wearing a knee brace. It compares the effects of just protein supplementation against protein with Urolithin A.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects are not detailed in the provided information but could include digestive discomfort given that individuals with existing gastrointestinal conditions are excluded from participation.
