Among other interesting things, what comes up is the term anabolic resistance. Anabolic resistence is connected to age, and older people cannot absorb and utilize properly as younger adults do.
Aging has been associated with a reduced muscle protein synthetic response to protein intake, termed “anabolic resistance.” Physical activity performed before protein intake increases the use of protein-derived amino acids for postprandial muscle protein accretion in senescent muscle. Thus, the level of habitual physical activity may be fundamental to maintain the anabolic responsiveness to protein intake with aging. "Anabolic Resistance of Muscle Protein Synthesis with Aging"
