About this trial

The purpose of this study is to examine the rate and concentration of amino acid absorption after a three-week pattern of milk protein supplementation with and without the addition of a single strain probiotic.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of amino acid absorption

To determine if the addition of a probiotic to milk protein ingestion changes the rate (in minutes) to which amino acids are absorbed into our bloodstream.

Time frame
Day 0, Day 22, Day 65
2

Concentration of amino acid absorption

To determine if the addition of a probiotic to milk protein ingestion changes the extent (concentration in millimoles/Liter) to which amino acids are absorbed into our bloodstream.

Time frame
Day 0, Day 22, Day 65

Secondary outcomes

1

Comprehensive metabolic panel

Comprehensive metabolic panel will be assessed pre vs. post supplementation across the two treatment groups for blood safety data. • All measures are assessed by blood or serum assay analysis

Time frame
Day 0, Day 22, Day 65
2

Blood CBC panel

Blood CBC panel will be assessed pre vs. post supplementation across the two treatment groups for blood safety data. • All measures are assessed by blood or serum assay analysis

Time frame
Day 0, Day 22, Day 65
