This study is looking at whether special nutritional supplements can help older adults who have broken their hip. If you are 65 or older and need surgery for a hip fracture, you might be able to join. Participants will either receive the XR™ Recovery Supplement and XR Carbohydrate Loading Supplement around the time of their surgery, or they will get standard nutritional advice. The study wants to see if the supplements can reduce muscle loss, which will be measured using ultrasound on your uninjured leg. The goal is to see if these supplements can help you recover better. The current status of this study is unclear.

What's involved
