Protein supplement and brain function in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a daily protein supplement can improve how your brain works. It is for healthy older adults (ages 60–75) who are overweight but do not have diabetes or take certain medications.

This study compares the effects of a diet containing beef versus a plant-based diet on how well your body builds muscle protein. It aims to find which diet better supports muscle strength and function in healthy older individuals.
This study tests a special protein drink (whey with milk fat globule membrane) to see if it helps your heart and brain after a high-fat breakfast. It might help you if you are a postmenopausal woman at moderate risk for heart disease.
This study compares how well beef protein and plant protein help build muscle in older adults who may be starting to feel weak or lose muscle. You'll eat test meals and have your muscle response measured using a safe, stable isotope technique.
This study tests if a new algae-based protein drink can help older adults build muscle, both at rest and after exercise. It aims to find a plant-based way to support muscle strength as we age.
