Plant protein showdown: oat vs. pea – which one digests best?
NCT ID NCT06142084
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates how well different plant-based proteins (from oats and peas) are digested in the small intestine. Adults aged 18-75 with an ileostomy will consume protein meals on separate days, and the contents of their ileostomy bags will be analyzed to measure protein and amino acid absorption. The goal is to understand which plant proteins are more digestible and how they compare to lab-based models.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
plant-based proteins (oat and pea)
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help design better plant-based protein sources and improve dietary recommendations for people with digestive conditions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 11 participants, so results may not apply to the general population. It measures digestion in people with ileostomies, which may differ from normal digestion.
