Summary

This study looks at how different protein drinks (casein, whey, and soy) affect blood and urine markers in healthy older adults aged 60 to 80. Researchers will also check cognitive function, mood, and appetite after each drink. The goal is to understand how protein sources influence metabolism, which could guide future dietary recommendations for healthy aging.
