Milk versus plant drinks with strength training for bone health

This study compares three different beverages—dairy milk, pea-based drink, and almond drink—to see which works best for bone health when combined with regular strength training. You'll do supervised weight training three times per week for a full year, and drink one of these beverages right after each session and again an hour later. The goal is to understand which beverage helps protect and strengthen bones best in older adults.

As people age, especially after menopause, bones become weaker and more fragile. This trial is testing whether the type of beverage you drink after exercise—particularly whether dairy or plant-based options work better—can help prevent bone loss and keep bones strong.
