Details and patient eligibility

About

this clinical trial would try to confirm whether NUTRALYS®, a fast pea protein with an intermediate profile, rich in leucines and other essential amino acids, can significantly enhance muscle mass gain during strength training. This study will compare the efficacy of NUTRALYS® to a reference product. If the results of the study demonstrate a significant improvement in relation to the placebo, not inferior to that of whey, NUTRALYS® could be considered as an alternative to sports nutrition products, to which many people are intolerant.
