Summary
This study aims to find out how much leucine—an essential amino acid found in meat, dairy, eggs, beans, and nuts—healthy children aged 6 to 10 need each day. Researchers will use special diets, safe stable isotopes, and simple breath and urine tests to measure this. The results will help create better nutrition guidelines to support children's growth.
