Could a whey protein drink boost heart and brain health in menopause?

This study looks at whether adding a special whey protein supplement to a high-fat meal can improve markers of heart and brain health in postmenopausal women who are overweight and at moderate risk for heart disease. Sixteen women will each try the supplement and a placebo on separate days, with blood tests, blood pressure checks, and computer-based thinking tasks over six hours. The goal is to see if the supplement helps the body handle fats better and supports mental function after eating.
