NCT ID NCT07488273

First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looked at whether taking whey protein for 8 weeks changes key minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron) in the blood of elite male track-and-field athletes. 59 athletes took 30 grams of whey protein daily after training. The goal was to understand how supplementation affects mineral status, not to treat any disease.
