Description: We hypothesise that deer milk will be an acceptable high protein beverage with natural high levels of vitamins and minerals and will therefore improve nutritional status.
The purpose of the proposed study is to assess if a natural milk with excellent nutritional properties is:
1) an acceptable oral supplement in older adults based on favourable sensory attributes
2) whether deer milk can improve nutritional status, body composition and physical performance as compared to a commercial over the counter nutritional supplement (ONS) .
Decline in nutritional status is a modifiable risk factor that directly impacts the development of malnutrition. The ability to influence disease progression through diet would be of significant benefit to ageing populations globally. Over the counter protein beverages are available to older adults, but poor compliance has been reported for many of these drinks which reduces the observed health benefits to the consumers. Deer milk is nutrient dense, has an improved taste and may affect mobility and general health of the participants – therefore compliance), body composition and biochemical assessments are included.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of deer milk versus ONS on body composition, biochemical markers of nutrition, and low burden performance outcome measures.
