Background: Several reports recommend that the dietary supplementation with Whey Protein (WP) in liquid form has been a popular choice for most of the individuals, especially athletes. Some product labels suggest a high serving size of 50 g for WP. Nevertheless, due to the limited endogenous digestive enzymes output and fast transit time, the average amount digested and absorbed may be approximately 15 g, thereby restricting protein bioavailability. The objective of this study was to find out whether MB EnzymePro®, a unique patent-pending Enhanced Absorption FormulaTM (EAF) of digestive proteases, significantly increases the digestion and absorption of WP, ultimately increasing bioavailability. The study also investigated its usefulness in significantly altering nitrogen (N2) balance and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels.
