There is clear evidence that moderate physical activity increases the efficiency of protein utilization. However, strenuous endurance-type exercise has been shown to increase protein requirements above the recommended dietary allowance (RDA)

Research on the effects of treatment with anabolic hormones, which stimulate protein synthesis or decrease protein breakdown, is ongoing. Results of studies of protein requirements in hot, cold, and high-altitude environments suggest that these conditions do not increase protein requirements beyond currently recommended levels.

The MRDA, if consumed, provides adequate protein and energy to sustain immune function under normal field conditions. Furthermore, with the exception of tryptophan, commercial preparations of which have been documented to cause specific toxic effects, there is a lack of safety data on the consumption of high levels of individual amino acids.

There is little evidence of increased health risks Tom a high Stake of dietary protein; however, an amino acid imbalance may be created with the use of single amino acid or protein supplements. Although no data are available Tom groups similar in age and fitness characteristics to military personnel, a review of the information available shows that high protein intake is not associated with direct effects on renal dysfunction, although high-prote~n diets may indirectly stimulate renal stone formation and result m an increased renal workload because of the need to concentrate urine.
