Evidence Summary

Protein powder supplementation has been shown to improve serum albumin levels and nutritional status in clinical populations including hemodialysis patients (PMID: 40011815) and liver cirrhosis outpatients (PMID: 40153825). In critically ill neurological ICU patients, whey protein added to enteral nutrition improved nutritional indicators (albumin, total protein, prealbumin) and reduced pulmonary infection rates compared to standard enteral nutrition alone (PMID: 40847103). Predialytic protein supplementation also showed improvements in quality of life subscales in hemodialysis patients (PMID: 40011815).
