Essential Amino Acids and Whey Protein: study protocols
3 study groups took Essential Amino Acids together with Whey Protein. These are the doses the studies gave. They are not a recommendation.
Fewer than 5 study groups in one unit match, too few to draw the chart.
Commonly used together
1 of 3 study groups took Essential Amino Acids and Whey Protein with something else, but nothing that 3 or more different studies gave.
