Summary

Protein consumption is essential for various physiological processes, with microalgae and plant proteins gaining increasing attention due to their health benefits. To better understand how different protein types and processing methods impact health outcomes, this study aims to analyse the metabolite changes in response to different protein sources.

Conditions

  • Protein Absorption and Amino Acid Availability
  • Metabolomics

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Bead-milled microalgae

Consume a 400 mL drink containing 20 g protein equivalent of bead-milled microalgae

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Non-bead-milled microalgae

Consume a 400 mL drink containing 20 g protein equivalent of non-bead-milled microalgae

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Whey protein isolate

Consume a 400 mL drink containing 20 g protein equivalent of whey protein isolate

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Soy protein isolate

Consume a 400 mL drink containing 20 g protein equivalent of soy protein isolate

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Maltodextrin (Placebo)

Consume a 400 mL drink containing maltodextrin matched for the energy content of 20 g protein
