Summary

This study investigates whether a modified form of whey protein, called hydrolyzed whey, can help keep cholesterol levels in a healthy range. Adults aged 21 to 59 with cholesterol readings between 190 and 225 mg/dL drink a daily protein beverage for six weeks. Researchers compare the effects of hydrolyzed whey against standard whey to see if the hydrolyzed version lowers total and LDL cholesterol.
