Objectives
The main objectives are:
• Study part II: to investigate the effect of a plant-based diet on micronutrient status compared to an average Danish diet
Hypotheses Study part II: it is hypothesised that the status of some micronutrients is lower after intake of a plant-based diet compared to an average Danish diet.
Participants will:
Study part II: consume either a vegan diet or an average danish diet with a high meat intake for 4 weeks. The total study period for the participants is estimated to 6 weeks (from screening to paticipants last visit)
Men and women
Between 18 and 65 years old (including both 18 and 65 year olds)
Danish-speaking
Willingness to consume/comply with consumption of study-related intervention products/diet
Daily smokers/users of all kinds of nicotine-containing products.
Occasional smokers/user can be included if they are willing to refrain from all kinds of nicotine-containing products during the trial (from screening to end of trial)
Blood donation <3 months prior to study-related blood sampling
Intensive physical training (> 10 hours of strenuous physical activity per week)
Parallel
change in diet
Behavioralthe participants will either be assigned consumption of a vegan diet or their habitual average danish diet with a high intake of meat for the intervention period which is 4 weeks.
Differences in the status of micronutrients dependent on consumption of either a plant-based diet or an average Danish diet
The status of the micronutrients will be assesed by analysing blood, feases and urine samples for biomarkers and concentration of the micronutrients. For vitamin K, we will measure the concentration of vitamin K vitamers in blood, feaces and urine and the concentration of the biomarkers MGP and OC in the blood samples.
