Summary

This small study looked at whether dairy products like skim milk and Greek yogurt, taken right after intense exercise, affect bone turnover and inflammation in healthy young adults. Twenty participants did high-intensity exercise and then consumed either dairy, a carbohydrate drink, or water. The goal was to see if dairy changes bone cell activity or the body's inflammatory response compared to the other drinks.
