First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how well people digest and use protein from peas, comparing young and older adults who are either vegetarians or omnivores. Researchers will measure protein absorption after a pea-based meal using special tracers. The goal is to understand if age or diet affects how the body handles plant protein, which could help improve nutrition for older adults.
