Listen "40: Protein Supplementation and Anabolic Resistance in Older Males"
Episode Synopsis
This episode investigates the impact of various protein supplements on muscle protein synthesis in older men, aiming to counter age-related muscle loss known as sarcopenia. The study compares the effects of whey, pea, and collagen protein when consumed above the recommended dietary allowance (RDA), distributed twice daily at breakfast and lunch.McKendry J, Lowisz CV, Nanthakumar A, et al.
