That is good news! Those guys in the study were aged 25. Do you think this applies equally to a 66 year old and additionally, should we increase the protein quantity? Thanks.

Increasing protein intake with age is generally considered good advice, Tim. Aging is typically associated with decreased sensitivity to AAs, combined with greater resistance when they're received at the 'muscle'. AFAIK, there isn't research on the effects of timing in older adults, but mechanistically-speaking it would follow that timing may be more relevant.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm certainly upping my protein these days. Seems to be a good consensus for it.
