Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to study the bioavailability and kinetics of acute Aronia Melanocarpa supplementation in healthy young (18-35 years) and older adults (55-75 years) adults. During the test day, participants will ingest a drink consisting of Aronia Melanocarpa extract (AME). The bioavailability and kinetics of AME will be assessed via frequent blood sampling, urine collection, and faecal sampling, in which AME and metabolite profiles will be quantified.
