Protein drinks and muscle strength in older adults
This study tests whether a daily protein drink can help improve muscle function and strength in people aged 60–85. Researchers will compare a new protein supplement called PeptiStrong with regular whey protein to see which works better.

This study tests whether a special drink (MediDrink Platinum+) and a bean protein supplement can help improve fitness and muscle strength in older adults who are malnourished and have muscle loss. If you are 60 or older, underweight, and have lost muscle, this trial may offer a way to see if these supplements can help you get stronger.
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 trial tests whether a supplement made from milk fat globule membrane can improve muscle function in healthy adults who are recreationally active. You'll take the supplement daily for 12 weeks and have your muscle function measured.
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 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 looks at how two types of protein drinks (one from plants, one from whey/dairy) affect muscle and metabolism in older adults who have COPD. You'll lie in a bed for several hours while researchers measure your body's response to the protein. The goal is to find which protein might better help maintain muscle strength.
