Insect vs animal protein for building muscle
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares protein from insects to protein from animals to see which helps build muscle better. If you are a regular weightlifter and open to taking a protein supplement daily for 12 weeks, this study may help you understand more about your muscle health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether a special protein drink can help build muscle better than a placebo when combined with strength training. If you are a healthy young adult who is new to weight lifting, this trial may help you build muscle more effectively.
This study checks how different doses of “Super-whey” influence muscle protein building in adults. It may help figure out the best whey dose for building muscle, especially in older adults.
This study tests whether a special whey protein drink helps build muscle in older adults, both at rest and after exercise. It compares a leucine-enriched protein to regular protein to see which works better.
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.
This trial compares two types of protein, one from milk and one from wheat, to see which helps older adults build more protein in their body. You will receive drinks containing one protein type on separate days and have blood and muscle samples taken.
This study compares how well your body uses protein from animal and microbial sources. It may help us understand which protein types are best for active, healthy adults.
