Summary
Examining the effects of PeptiStrong and protein on muscle function in older adults
Detailed description
The aim of this study is to compare two protein drinks containing whey protein (derived from milk) in healthy adults aged 60 to 85 years. One group will consume a standard whey protein drink (20g), while the other group will consume a drink with half the total protein dose (10g) made of whey protein and PeptiStrong, a fava bean hydrolysate containing bioactive peptides. The study will assess whether the lower protein drink containing PeptiStrong will lead to equal or greater improvements than the standard drink in physical function, such as the ability to stand up from a chair, walk at a normal pace, maintain balance, and grip strength. The study will also examine markers related to inflammation, fatigue, and quality of life. The intended value of this research is to improve understanding of how targeted nutritional strategies may help maintain or improve muscle function in older adults. The findings may help inform future nutritional recommendations and the development of practical dietary interventions aimed at supporting healthy ageing and independence.
