NCT ID NCT05860088
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether eating beef daily for 8 weeks reduces muscle fatigue in adults aged 60-85 compared to a vegetarian diet. Twenty-four participants ate both diets in a crossover design, with tests like sit-to-stand and walking. The goal was to see if beef's natural beta-alanine and carnosine improve muscle function and fatigue.
