About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Single-Blind, Crossover Pilot Trial to Assess the Effects of Proprietary Beverages on Amino Acids and Acute Appetite Hormone Response in Healthy Adults
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate post-meal amino acid in response to a proprietary beverages in generally healthy adults.
Read the detailed description
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate post-meal amino acid, appetite hormones, and appetite ratings, assessed using visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaires, in response to proprietary beverages in generally healthy adults compared to control. It is hypothesized that beverages will result in an increase in essential amnio acids, as well as appetite hormones and feelings of satiety, compared to control.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Test carbonated protein beverage and Test protein beverage in people with Healthy, run by Shaklee Corporation at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Maximum concentration (Cmax) above baseline for essential amino acids (time frame: Up to 2 hours post-beverage consumption). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Aug 2026.
