Summary
This completed study looked at how well older men (65-80 years) and younger men (20-35 years) absorb protein from black beans, milk, and sorghum. Researchers used a special breath test to measure the availability of key amino acids. The goal was to understand age-related differences in protein digestion, not to test a treatment.
