Summary

This study looks at how a digestive enzyme called P24 affects the body's absorption of amino acids (protein building blocks) after eating a burger with mixed proteins. Thirty healthy adults aged 45-75 will take either the enzyme or a placebo with a test meal. The goal is to see if P24 helps the body use protein more effectively, which could inform future nutrition strategies.
