What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study compares a yeast-based protein supplement to whey protein (from milk) to see if it can help build muscle just as well. Seventy-two healthy adults aged 18-35 who already do resistance training will take either yeast or whey protein for 16 weeks while continuing their workouts. The main goal is to measure changes in muscle mass. If yeast protein works, it could provide a more sustainable protein source.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Yeast protein supplement
What this could lead to
If yeast protein works as well as whey, it could offer a sustainable, plant-based option for building muscle.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 72 healthy young adults. Results may not apply to older people or those with health conditions. The study hasn't started yet.
