Summary
This trial is testing how well nutrients from plant-based milk alternatives are absorbed by the body, compared to cow's milk, to help inform better nutrition for PBMA drinkers.
Who is the study for?
Healthy adults with a BMI of 20-40 kg/m2 and weight ≥110 lbs, not on certain medications (like proton pump inhibitors or anti-inflammatory drugs), non-smokers, and not pregnant. Participants must avoid multivitamins and vitamin-D supplements for three weeks prior to the study, as well as vigorous activity, caffeine, and alcohol before visits.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how well nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, potassium, and magnesium are absorbed from cow's milk compared to almond, soy, and oat milks in healthy subjects. Blood samples will be taken after consumption over one week to measure nutrient absorption.
What are the potential side effects?
There may be minimal side effects since the products being tested are common dietary items; however individual intolerances or allergies could cause digestive discomfort or allergic reactions.
