Abstract
A Multi-Ingredient Nutritional Supplement (MINS) Increases Fat Oxidation and Augments Metabolic Rate
The study investigated the impact of a multi-ingredient nutritional supplement (MINS) on resting metabolic rate and energy expenditure. The supplement contained a combination of factors that are normally administered in isolation (32 g protein, 8.4 g CHO, 1.7 g fibre, 105 mg caffeine and 21 mg green tea extract with 10.5 mg catechins, per 50 g serving. 18 subjects participated in the study (10 males, 8 females), mean age 21.8 yrs. Following overnight fasting, subjects ingested either MINS or an isocaloric maltodextrin placebo.
