Superbrewed Food Launches Clinical Study on Postbiotic Cultured Protein Benefits
On June 5, 2025, Superbrewed Food, a pioneering innovator in food ingredients, proudly announced the results of a groundbreaking clinical study conducted in partnership with Texas Woman’s University. This research highlights the potential of Postbiotic Cultured Protein as a dietary source of protein that supports muscle health and may serve as a superior alternative to traditional whey protein, particularly for individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Research Presentation at ACSM Meeting
The findings from this study were presented at the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) annual meeting that took place in Atlanta from May 27 to May 30, 2025. This research adds to a series of investigations sponsored by Superbrewed Food to further explore the benefits of Postbiotic Cultured Protein compared to other protein sources.
Key Findings of the Study
The study's aim was to evaluate the effects of Postbiotic Cultured Protein on blood amino acid levels, glucose response, and insulin response, relative to those observed with whey protein concentrate. Here are some of the key findings:
- - Postbiotic Cultured Protein resulted in a similar increase in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in the bloodstream as whey protein, a vital factor in muscle growth and maintaining muscle health.
- - When consumed with carbohydrates, the Postbiotic Cultured Protein led to a significantly lower insulin response in the first 90 minutes in comparison with whey protein taken alongside carbohydrates (maltodextrin).
- - Blood glucose responses remained comparable between the two protein types, regardless of carbohydrate content in the meal.
These findings suggest that Postbiotic Cultured Protein might offer a more favorable metabolic response, particularly during carbohydrate-rich meals. This stability in insulin response could be beneficial in mitigating the risks associated with insulin resistance and cardiometabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes.
Implications for Health and Performance
While both protein sources showed comparable increases in amino acid levels, the differences in insulin response indicate the potential advantages of Postbiotic Cultured Protein. Particularly, the elevated insulin levels associated with whey protein consumption could lead to hyperinsulinemia, thereby heightening the risk of developing metabolic conditions over time. Conversely, a more stable insulin level with Postbiotic Cultured Protein consumption provides an appealing proposition for health-conscious consumers and athletes alike.
About Texas Woman's University
Texas Woman's University (TWU) is notable as the largest university system in the US focused on women. Established in 1901 as the Girls Industrial College, it evolved into TWU in 1957. Now, the university extends its programs to both men and women across various fields, including nursing, health sciences, and education. It is recognized for its solid research output, especially concerning public health issues like type 2 diabetes and obesity.
