Efficacy of Different Doses of Amino Acids in 5AA+CrPic Water on Glucose Homeostasis in a Healthy Population.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
It has previously been shown that a carbonated water including a defined amount of amino acids and chromium can decrease the postprandial glucose response. In this study, the effect of three different doses of amino acids on glucose excursions after a standardized test meal will be evaluated in healthy subjects. The study will be conducted in a randomized, single center, crossover, double-blinded, placebo controlled design including 25 participants. The primary endpoint of the study is the incremental area under the curve for capillary blood glucose (iAUC) within 180 minutes after ingestion of the meal.
