The Digestion of Protein Powders in Healthy Participants Using SIMBA and LIMBA Capsule

Sponsor: Nimble Science Ltd.

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study aims to understand how the Milk Protein Concentrate/Fast Protein (MCP/FP) investigational product (IP) compares to a control the Micellar Casein Isolate/Slow Protein (MCI/SP) product in healthy volunteers. It involves two phases where participants will try both products. The main goal is to measure the type and rate of amino acids quickly in the small intestine after consuming the protein products and how this relates to gastric emptying.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Milk Protein Concentrate

Milk Protein Concentrate is a powdered dairy product made by removing most of the water from milk and contains a protein content below 90% on a dry matter basis. The product has been modified where some of the colloidal calcium phosphate component is reduced, which results in the dissociation of some of casein micelles, forming loose sub-micelle structures. This change modifies the digestion behaviour to be significantly faster.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Micellar Casein Isolate

Micellar casein isolate is a type of protein supplement derived from milk. It belongs to the casein family of proteins, which includes various forms such as micellar casein, casein hydrolysate, and caseinates. During digestion micellar casein coagulates with both gastric acidification and enzymatic hydrolysis by pepsin, forming large stable curds which slow gastric emptying and provide a slower absorption of amino acids over time.
