Ketone supplementation may promote growth of skeletal muscle, but little is known about how it affects muscle protein synthesis when combined with dietary protein.

Protein consumption is vital to our muscles, as it stimulates the process of producing new muscle proteins, also called muscle protein synthesis. A new study suggests that this process is stimulated to a higher extent following the consumption of a meal in which protein comes from meat, specifically beef, than a meal containing only plant-based protein sources, even when the protein levels are the same.
