NCT ID NCT07155824
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a blend of plant and whey protein, combined with a 12-week exercise program, affects protein digestion and muscle health in 15 inactive older adults. Researchers measured how the body uses amino acids from meals and checked muscle tissue markers. The goal was to understand the body's response, not to test a new treatment.
