Summary

This trial tests whether a high-protein egg white pudding is a practical and acceptable way to supplement the diets of older adults living in personal care homes. About 54 residents aged 50 and older who already need nutritional supplements will receive either the egg white pudding five days a week or a standard commercial supplement daily for eight weeks. Researchers will measure hand grip strength, body weight, and waist circumference, and track how well participants tolerate the pudding. The goal is to see if this food-based approach is feasible for future, larger studies aimed at preventing muscle loss.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Egg white pudding (high-protein dietary supplement)
What this could lead to
If this pudding is acceptable and easy to eat, it could offer a simple, food-based way to help older adults in care homes preserve muscle strength and function.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, not a proof of effectiveness. It may not show meaningful changes in strength, and some residents may not like the pudding or find it hard to eat.
