Mycoprotein
Mycoprotein compared with milk protein after exercise
A mycoprotein meal stimulated muscle protein building in young adults after exercise. This short study did not test long-term muscle gain.

At a glance
A quick view of the human studies linked in the research library below.
| Functional ingredients | Human clinical papers | Outcomes measured | What the research shows |
|---|---|---|---|
| PROTEIN SOURCES | |||
| Mycoprotein, yeast protein | 23 | Muscle protein synthesis, training adaptation, lean mass, strength, blood lipids, glucose, appetite and gut measures | Supports muscle protein synthesis and muscle maintenance, helping the body make effective use of dietary protein. Human studies have also explored effects on lean mass, strength, satiety and markers of metabolic health. |
| PREBIOTIC FIBRE & PROBIOTICS | |||
| Inulin, L. rhamnosus GG, L. acidophilus LA-5, B. bifidum Bb-02 | 26 | Bowel movements, gut microbiota, digestive symptoms, appetite and glucose measures | Supports beneficial gut bacteria and bowel regularity. Human studies on inulin have shown increases in beneficial bifidobacteria and bowel movement frequency, while probiotic research has examined gut microbiota balance, digestive comfort and bowel health. |
| DIETARY OILS | |||
| MCT oil, flaxseed oil | 9 | Satiety, food intake, energy expenditure, body composition, blood lipids, inflammation and vascular measures | Provides functional sources of dietary fats. MCTs are rapidly absorbed and metabolised as an energy source, with human research also examining their effects on satiety and food intake. Flaxseed oil provides plant-derived fatty acids and has been studied for cardiovascular and blood-lipid-related outcomes. |
| SWEETENERS | |||
| Stevia sweeteners | 7 | Blood glucose, appetite, food intake, blood pressure and body weight | Provides sweetness while helping reduce sugar intake. Replacing sugar with stevia can reduce the rise in blood glucose associated with consuming an equivalent sugar-sweetened product, making it a useful option for reducing added sugar intake. |

Mycoprotein
A mycoprotein-rich diet during resistance training
Participants on mycoprotein-rich and comparison diets both gained during resistance training; main outcomes did not differ clearly between diets.
Read study ↗Mycoprotein
Mycoprotein and after-meal glucose in type 2 diabetes (also assessed guar gum)
Read study ↗Yeast protein
Yeast protein during resistance training in adults
Adults taking yeast protein during training improved on some lean-mass measures, especially those with lower protein intake at baseline.
Read study ↗Inulin
Chicory inulin and bowel movements in adults with constipation
A trial in adults with constipation reported more frequent bowel movements with chicory inulin than placebo.
Read study ↗L. rhamnosus GG
LGG, a low-FODMAP diet and usual care in IBS
This trial compared LGG, a low-FODMAP diet and usual care. LGG did not outperform its main comparison on symptom relief.
Read study ↗LGG + LA-5 blend
LGG and LA-5 in a three-strain preparation with dietary programme (blend)
Read study ↗L. acidophilus LA-5
LA-5 in a synbiotic yogurt with other strains and inulin (blend)
A yogurt containing LA-5, other strains and inulin did not significantly change digestive transit in healthy adults.
Read study ↗B. bifidum Bb-02
Bb-02 with another strain and inulin in older adults (blend)
A blend containing Bb-02, another strain and inulin changed some stool bacteria. The study cannot isolate Bb-02’s effect.
Read study ↗MCT oil
MCT in solid and liquid breakfasts
Later food intake differed by whether MCT was served in a solid or liquid breakfast; reported appetite did not clearly differ.
Read study ↗Stevia
A stevia-sweetened drink and later food intake
The drink produced a lower glucose response than calorie-containing drinks in a short study. The response was similar to water.
Read study ↗Flaxseed oil
Flaxseed oil compared with olive oil: blood lipids and inflammation
An oil-comparison study measured blood lipids and inflammation. Its oil preparation may differ from the NOURIX ingredient.

Understanding the research
The studies in this library are human studies exploring the ingredients found in Nourix. The numbers shown refer to the original research papers we have linked, rather than every study ever published. In some cases, more than one paper may come from the same clinical trial. Ingredient forms and formulations used in research can vary.
