A randomized, double-blind, single-dose, comparator-controlled crossover trial involving 10 participants was conducted to investigate the effects of an amylopectin/chromium complex (Velositol) on plasma concentrations of essential amino acids (EAA), insulin, glucose, and the fractional rate of muscle protein synthesis (FSR).

KEY FINDING:

• Supports an increase in muscle protein synthesis.* 

Source: Effects of amylopectin and chromium complex on the anabolic response to a suboptimal dose of whey protein.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 66 participants was conducted over 4 weeks to determine the effect of Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 (LactoSpore®) on functional gas and bloating in healthy adults.

KEY FINDING:

• Supports reductions in abdominal gas and distension. *
