Summary
This study looked at whether a whey protein called alpha-lactalbumin could improve mood and thinking in healthy older adults, including those with mild memory issues. The protein is thought to help the brain make serotonin, a chemical that affects mood and memory. Researchers gave the drink to 59 participants and measured changes in their body's protein use, thinking skills, and mood.
