Brief Description about the Project
Group 1 (Test): Participants in group 1 will receive standard of care with protein supplement for 42 days.
Group 2 (Control): Receive standard of care for 42 days
The study will be conducted over 42 (6 weeks) days and will follow a randomized, open-labeled, controlled study design at a single center. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to either the control or test group. Participants will receive either standard of care or standard of care plus protein supplement for 42 days. Protein supplementation will begin one week before the surgery, following the completion of laboratory investigations. The study will comprise of five key assessment points: screening (Visit 1, day -14 to -7), baseline/randomization -day 1 of protein supplementation (Visit 2, day -6 to Day 0), follow up (Visit 3, Day 7 – telephonic), follow up (Visit 4, Day 14, Onsite), final visit (Visit 5, Day 42, onsite). The efficacy and safety of the test supplement will be evaluated in comparison to the control group
