Pilot Trial Investigating Fermented Whey Supplementation in Healthy Adults

The Use of Fermented Whey Concentrate in Healthy Adults

Pilot trial: 6-week single arm intervention. Healthy adults (male and female) consume Molkosan (fermented whey) twice a day (AM & PM).

Molkosan® is made from fresh organic whey using a special fermentation process involving lactic acid producing bacteria (L+ lactic acid 70g/L). The company, A.Vogel (Roggwil, Switzerland) will provide the product and we will collect biological samples for analysis in a proof of concept study design that will provide preliminary data for future larger studies.
