U.S., Sept. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07151625) titled 'Protein Complementation of Plant-based Diets.' on Aug. 18.
Brief Summary: Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins which are needed by the body for growth, and bodily functions. If even one amino acid is in short supply, this will negatively affect growth and various functions in the body. Animal foods like meat, fish and chicken contain all the amino acids needed by the body in the correct proportion. These foods are considered high quality protein foods. However plant proteins like lentils, wheat, rice are low in at least one amino acid. This means that plant proteins are considered low quality proteins.
