How Your Body Uses Protein From Beef
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study measures how your body breaks down and uses protein from beef at different amounts. Researchers want to understand the best dose of beef protein for young, healthy adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 35 years old
- Have a healthy weight (BMI 18.5–30)
- Exercise at least once every two weeks, but no more than four days per week
- Eat beef and other animal proteins (not vegetarian or vegan)
- Not currently pregnant, smoking, or taking medications that affect how your body uses protein
- Have stable weight for the past three months and no stomach or digestive disorders

This study measures how quickly your body breaks down and absorbs beef protein, either eaten alone or as part of a full meal. Understanding digestion patterns in healthy young adults may help inform nutrition science.
This study looks at how much protein healthy young adults need to build and maintain muscle. Researchers will track your body's protein use during different activities to find the optimal amount for you.
This study tests how different types of protein and minerals affect the way your body uses amino acids (building blocks of protein). It may help researchers understand which protein sources are best for healthy, active adults.
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.
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.
