This clinical trial evaluates the postprandial glycaemic response to an Oral Nutritional Supplement (ONS), a Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP), in healthy adults. The study uses a crossover design comparing the ONS to the reference product glucose. Each participant will consume both test and reference products on three separate occasions each, overall on six test days.

Each administration of the test product (ONS) will represent 25 g of glycaemic carbohydrates.
The test product will be compared with the reference product glucose (glucose monohydrate dissolved in 250 ml water). Each administration of the reference product will represent 25 g of glycaemic carbohydrates.
Glycaemic Index (GI) of ONS
Three GIs for each repeated test of the ONS (based on capillary blood glucose) and their average GI (mean value) will be calculated as per ISO 26642.
Time frame: Blood samples will be obtained at -5, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.
