Vicia faba protein hydrolysate (VFH) supplementation significantly increases Bone Mineral Content (BMC) compared to placebo when combined with resistance training.
If you are concerned about bone health, this specific supplement taken with resistance training may help increase bone mineral content, showing a 0.7% increase over 8 weeks.
GoodSupportsMEDIUM confidence
Significant changes in bone mineral content were reported between groups (p=0.032) with a mean increase of 0.7% gained in the VFH group.
Why this rating
Statistically significant finding in a randomized controlled trial, though exploratory in nature.
