The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
they talk about the recommended allowance of protein they say maybe one to one point three grams per kilogram per day could reduce muscle mass loss with age i would say go two to two point two which is one gram this is talking they're talking um in kilograms here right so if you're talking pounds one gram of protein per pound of body weight per day i think that's ideal for most people
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
when you start to get into the Physically Active people or elderly population as you mentioned anabolic resistance where they're basically like their their muscle isn't getting that signal you know as well to increase muscle protein synthesis from the same amount of protein that they're younger self would right so they actually need more of a dose you know up to like I don't know 1.6 1.8
adequate protein intake which as you age gets bigger and bigger that number goes up and up and up due to anabolic resistance

if you're becoming older there's suggestions you need more to compensate for that

It's also older adults that are not training like because we talked about the anabolic resistance, I'm needing twice as much protein as well.
For most practical purposes, RDA should be bumped up from 0.8 to 1.2g per kilogram bodyweight
So without, you know, going too deep into the weeds, let's just say that there are alternative approaches using stable isotopes that have consistently shown that people actually need...when I say need, to maintain the balance that we talk about, higher intakes. And so that's the 1.2.
So, 1.2 is better than 0.8, certainly, but, I mean, there's good literature showing we've done work on this that, if you want to maximize anabolism...so, again, it doesn't mean that you're not going to gain any muscle if you're taking in 1.2 but it will impair the gains that you're going to get, and especially when you're talking about older individuals when they're anabolically-resistant.
