Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Duration of intervention: 13 weeks with an optional extension period of 13 weeks.
1. Intervention group: All participants in the intervention group will receive daily two servings of the Active study product, which has a high protein content;
2. Control group: All participants in the control group will receive daily two servings of the (isocaloric) Control product.
Both products consist of about 40 grams of powder which has to be dissolved in 125 ml of water and are available in two flavors: vanilla and strawberry.
