Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary outcome 1: Identification of the kinetics of amino acid release on digestion during the 5 hours post-ingestion, based on the concentration of plasma amino acids in peripheral blood as a comparison to the comparator whey protein drink. The kinetics of plasma amino acids are well-reported for whey protein.<br><br>Plasma amino acids to identified will be the 20 amino acids commonly found in food, apart from cysteine, (reported as cystine), and proline (reported as hydroxyproline). Additionally, taurine, citrulline, and ornithine, will be reported.[Timepoints: From fasting state to 5 hours after drink consumption, at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 and 300 min.]
