Summary

Researchers at National Taiwan Sport University are testing whether a daily high-protein, high-calcium, vitamin D-enriched shelf-stable dairy drink improves muscle mass, strength, and exercise performance. The trial enrolls about 40 active men aged 18 to 45 who exercise at least three times a week. For six weeks, participants add the dairy product to their usual routine without changing their exercise habits, and researchers measure handgrip strength, sit-to-stand tests, jumping, cycling endurance, and questionnaire responses about fatigue and product experience.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a high-protein, high-calcium, vitamin D-enriched shelf-stable dairy drink
What this could lead to
If it works, this could support shelf-stable dairy drinks as a convenient sports nutrition option for building or maintaining muscle.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and short, and it relies on self-reported questionnaires plus physical tests. Any muscle or strength changes may be too small to matter, and results in young active men may not apply to other groups.
