Curtin A2 Milk Study

This page has created for the clinical trial being run at Curtin University, Bentley. It is headed b The study is starting in February and is currently ongoing.

This is an 8 week research study to examine the differences in gastrointestinal (gut) symptoms in adults consuming two different types of milk (A1 vs A2 milk). You will need to drink the provided milk 3 times daily, 1 serve in the morning, 1 serve in the middle of the day and 1 later in the day (750 mL/day) during two separate, 2-week study periods. There will be 2 washout periods of 2 weeks where

you will need to consume rice milk and not consume any dairy products. You will need to come to Curtin University Bentley in the morning for about 90 minutes each visit at baseline 1 (week 1), evaluation 1 (week 3), baseline 2 (week 5), evaluation 2 (week 7) for study measurements. - You will need to fast for 10-12 hours before each visit (from at least midnight), where no food or drink can be consumed, except for water.
- You will need to avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages like coffee, tea and soft drinks and strenuous exercise the night before the visit as these will affect the measurements.
- Blood samples and body measurements will be taken at each visit. You will also be given urine and faecal sample “collection kits” for home collection of samples prior to evaluation 1 and evaluation 2 visits. Although there will be no reimbursement for travel costs, you will be able to claim $100 from A2 Dairy Products Australia after completion of the study. Please visit the website if you are interested in participating in this clinical trial. This study is for people aged 18-65. https://curtin.asia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bNGuwJrUQsVr8Hy

Study details

Reports of a possible link between chronic disease risk factors and consumption cows milk related to different protein variants are well documented. Casein accounts for around 80% of total milk protein. Bovine milk beta-casein is present as one of two major genetic variants: A1 or A2 beta-casein. Studies have shown consumption of A1 beta-casein containing milk has the potential to stimulate symptoms of digestive discomfort in susceptible individuals. Now a group of researchers from Curtin University coordinated by Associate Professor Sebely Pal are comparing the effects of A1 and A2 beta-casein consumption on chronic disease risk factors in Australian adults. If their theory is correct, consumption of A2 beta-casein milk will lead to improvements in lipid and diabetes risk factors, and consumers will have another dairy option. Thus, there may be public health benefits associated with this relatively inexpensive nutrition intervention.

This 14 week study requires overweight participants aged between 18 and 70 years. Volunteers will be eligible if they have no milk allergy, are not pregnant or lactating, had no cardiovascular events in the last 6 months, do not take opiods, have not received antibiotic treatment in the last 2 months and have not taken immunosuppressive medications or anti-inflammatory drugs in the last 4 weeks. Participants will be required to consume 3 serves of milk a day. To apply to be part of this study, please visit (http://bit.ly/2CNC6Uk) and answer the questions so we can assess your suitability.
