Protein Beverage Nutrition Study
Are you looking to learn more about your health and earn money for your participation? Biofortis is currently seeking participants for a new nutrition study investigating the effects of proprietary protein beverages — a protein shot and a protein seltzer — on essential amino acid levels, appetite-regulating hormones, and subjective feelings of fullness in healthy adults.
Why Are We Doing This Study?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how protein beverages—specifically a concentrated protein shot and a protein seltzer — affect essential amino acid levels, appetite-regulating hormones, and subjective feelings of fullness in healthy adults. By comparing the body's physical and subjective responses to these active protein beverages versus their respective controls, the study aims to determine if these specific drink formulations can deliver key nutrients while affecting feelings of hunger. By participating, you will be contributing to groundbreaking nutritional science that helps us better understand how protein affects hunger!

- Men and women between 20 and 50 years of age

What Does the Study Involve?
If you qualify, during the study you can expect to:
- Attend clinic visits: The study requires 3 clinic visits. Two of the clinic visits will require two hours in our Addison, IL clinic for consumption of the assigned protein beverages, multiple blood draws, and appetite questionnaires.
