About this trial

The overall objective of this study is to determine the effects of ingesting protein that slowly releases amino acids into the blood vs. a control product on how our muscles regulate the synthesis of new proteins, termed muscle protein synthesis (MPS), in healthy volunteers.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Control Protein then Extended Release Nutritional Protein

    Other intervention

    Participants will consume a beverage with standard nutritional protein. Washout. Then participants will consume a beverage with extended release nutritional protein.

  • Extended Release Protein then Control Nutritional Protein

    Other intervention

    Participants will consume a beverage with extended release nutritional protein. Washout. Then, participants will consume a beverage with control nutritional protein.
