Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to determine the feasibility of nutritional interventions designed to help older patients maintain physical function after being in the hospital. We will test the feasibility and effect of nutritional interventions with whey protein, collagen or placebo on functional recovery from hospitalization in community dwelling older adults.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Aging Dietary Supplement: Whey Protein Dietary Supplement: Collagen Protein Dietary Supplement: Placebo Phase 1

Detailed Description:
We will compare in a randomized parallel design double blind pilot phase I study the feasibility of whey protein vs. collagen vs. isocaloric placebo supplementation in older adults during an acute hospitalization for a medical condition, and the treatments' effect size on physical function after hospital discharge.
