- Revision 3Oct 4, 2026, 3:32 PMLiveAI-organised, reviewed
Added two newer trials: a Bayesian network meta-analysis suggesting whey plateaus around 30–35 g/day and that whey's edge narrows in adults 65+, and a 12-week factorial trial in middle-aged and older women finding no detectable difference between assigned protein targets. Added guidance for older adults and a new open question on age-specific protein source choice.
