Probiotics for Amino Acid Absorption
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of 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.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you must not have been taking any nutritional supplements or performance-enhancing substances for the past 6 weeks.
Is the probiotic treatment generally safe for humans?
How does the Single Strain Probiotic treatment improve amino acid absorption compared to other treatments?
The Single Strain Probiotic treatment is unique because it enhances the absorption of amino acids from plant proteins, which are typically less efficiently absorbed than animal proteins. This probiotic works by positively altering the gut microbiota, making it easier for the body to absorb essential amino acids from plant-based sources.678910
