This is a 6-month prospective interventional clinical trial designed to evaluate the impact of whey protein isolate oral supplement on protein status. Differences in protein status will be evaluated with review of the medical chart from standard of care monthly blood collection for serum albumin, total protein, and normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR) as detected by serum urea nitrogen. Mid-arm circumference and weight will be measured to ensure no significant changes. Quality of life will be measured to detect if the addition of protein aided in overall quality of life. There will be a 3-month recruitment period prior to the start of the trial to ensure the potential participants are familiarized with the clinical trial. After the recruitment period has finished, eligible participants will sign the consent form in order to participate in the study. At this point, participants will be provided the supplements for the month and instructed with the amount of water and how to mix with the provided measuring and drinking cup.
