Protein intake affects erythrocyte glutathione synthesis in healthy adults aged ≥60 years in a repeated-measures trial

CONCLUSION: A protein intake of 1.08 g⋅kg-1⋅d-1 from a high-quality protein maximized GSH synthesis in adults ≥60 y. This lends support to data suggesting a requirement higher than the current recommendation.CLINICAL TRIALS NUMBER: Clinical Trials: NCT02971046.PMID:38325765 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.02.002
