Plant-based diet protein study for healthy adults
This study looks at how well plant-based diets meet the body's protein needs in different age groups. You'll follow a plant-based eating plan temporarily, and researchers will check your blood to see how your body responds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 39 years old, or between 60 and 79 years old
- Be generally healthy, without conditions like diabetes that affect protein use
- Have a stable weight (no more than 5 pounds gained or lost in the last 3 months)
- Not take medications like steroids that affect protein metabolism
- Have normal blood test results for sugar and kidney function
- Limit caffeine to 2 cups or less and alcohol to 1 drink or less per day

This study tests whether a plant-based, protein-rich diet can help adults aged 55 and older with obesity lose weight. It is designed to see if this diet is both safe and effective for this group.
This study compares how well the body digests protein from plant-based versus meat-based diets in young adults (18–23) and older adults (65–75). Researchers want to understand if age and diet type affect how efficiently your body uses protein from food.
This study tests a daily protein shake in two flavors to see how well people tolerate it and if it affects their well-being. You would drink it once a day for 15 days and answer some questionnaires.
