Effect of Whey and Albumin Protein on Plasma Levels of Amino Acids
Information source: Metabolic Technologies Inc.
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Healthy Men and Women
Intervention: Whey Milk Protein (Dietary Supplement); Bovine Albumin Concentrate (Dietary Supplement)
Phase: N/A
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Metabolic Technologies Inc. Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Rick Sharp, PhD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Iowa State University
Summary
The purpose of this study will allow us to examine how quickly and to what extent plasma
amino acids levels rise after ingesting a single dose of either whey or albumin protein.
The investigators anticipate that the amino acids from albumin concentrate protein will rise
as quickly and to the same extent as amino acids from whey protein. These findings will help
us to understand the biological availability of these proteins and efficacy of the
supplement so that consumers may be presented with nutritional options.
