NCT ID NCT07521189

First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study looks at how well the body digests and uses protein from peas in healthy young (18-23) and older (65-75) adults who are either vegetarian or omnivore. Researchers will measure protein breakdown and amino acid absorption after a pea-based meal. The goal is to understand if age or diet affects how well plant proteins are used, which could help improve nutrition advice for older adults.
