Using intrinsically labelled bean protein to assess bioavailability of amino acids in healthy adults

The intervention comprises a test meal of intrinsically deuterium labelled stewed common bean with rice. The meal is mixed with a reference protein (Universally labelled 13C-spirulina, 12 mg/kg) and 13C6-Phenylalanine (0.05mg/kg) which is divided into equal mini meals and fed hourly over 8 hours. Protein in the total meal provides 15% of the energy intake with the labelled bean contributing \>50% of the protein.
