Supplemental protein from whey and pea increased integrated myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) rates to 1.59 ± 0.11 %/d and 1.59 ± 0.14 %/d respectively, compared to the RDA of 1.46 ± 0.09 %/d for whey and 1.46 ± 0.10 %/d for pea.
Practitioners should consider whey and pea protein supplements for older males to enhance muscle protein synthesis.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Integrated MPS was increased during supplemental with whey (1.59 ± 0.11 %/d; P < 0.001) and pea (1.59 ± 0.14 %/d; P < 0.001) when compared with RDA (1.46 ± 0.09 %/d for the whey group; 1.46 ± 0.10 %/d for the pea group);
Why this rating
Based on randomized controlled trial design.
