The U.S. Air Force is currently conducting studies into the benefits of whey protein for their pilots and commandos, reports the Daily American. After an initial study led by Col. Breck Lebegue faltered for lack of participants, a new study is taking off, led by Maj. Thomas Walker.
Participation in the research is open to both military personnel and civilians, and seeks to find out if protein supplementation will prevent combat fatigue.
Walker said he hopes to study between 70 and 80 people between the ages of 19 and 44 by the end of the year and issue a report early next year, he said.
