Summary
This study tests whether eating special biscuits made with pea protein and taking vitamin D can slow or prevent sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) in adults aged 65-80. Over 12 weeks, 74 volunteers will eat either the protein biscuit plus vitamin D or a regular biscuit with a placebo. Researchers will measure changes in muscle mass, strength, and gut health to see if this simple diet approach works.
