BUT the increase from RDA to 2RDA is in line with our previous infusion data: https://t.co/qUAcLs1o2g

@kevinnbass It measures whole-body protein synthesis in an acute period. What those that use desperately want to say is that some of it is MPS, but of course many times whole-body shows no relationship with MPS

There are more ongoing trials though, will be interesting to see how all the data fit together.

Abstract Synopsis
- The study found that consuming more protein (2RDA) than the recommended amount (1RDA) improves overall protein balance in older adults, mainly by increasing protein synthesis.
- The pattern of protein intake distribution across meals (even vs uneven) did not significantly impact net protein balance or protein synthesis rates.
- Higher total protein intake enhanced muscle protein synthesis, indicating that total amount matters more than how protein is distributed throughout the day for older adults.]
