Short-term Effects of Juice Consumption With Biofunctional Compounds and Probiotics on Subjective Appetite

Short-term Effects of Fruit Juice Enriched With Vitamin D3, n-3 Fatty Acids, and Probiotics on Subjective Appetite, Energy Intake, and Glycemic Responses, in Healthy Adults

This study investigated the short-term effects of fruit juice enriched with vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics on subjective appetite, energy intake, and glycemic responses, in both normal-weight and overweight, healthy adults.

This study aimed to 1. Assess the subjective appetite of participants after the consumption of fruit juice (100% orange) enriched with vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics compared to regular fruit juice (without any fortification), and 2. Examine the short-term effects of enriched fruit juice compared to regular fruit juice on glycemic responses and blood pressure, in both normal-weight and overweight healthy adults
