Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Randomization and allocation concealment were conducted after obtaining informed consent. The participants will be randomized using block randomization (1:1). The random alphabet A and B will each be placed into an envelope. The envelopes were then distributed to the participants on a first come first serve basis during recruitment. Participants with the alphabet A received a cup of milk A whereas participants with the alphabet B received a cup of milk B.

The researcher along with a research supervisor (a certified registered nurse) will conduct this procedure. Both types of milk were prepared and provided by a local company. To maintain allocation concealment, both milk were made to appear similar (bottle type, bottle size, bottle colour, amount of milk, and colour of milk). The only exception is the label (code) attached to the bottom of the bottles, A for milk A and B for milk B. This was a double-blind study where both participants and experimenters were not exposed to the code.

Number of times the intervention will be delivered is one time and over 30 minutes in one session. The location where the interventions occurs is university laboratory room.

In this study, the origin of the plant-based milk will be soy milk and the amount of milk provided is 200 mL. This experimential will take place at the study clinic. Participants are asked to finish drinking in 15 minutes and the whole experiment takes around 2 hours per participant for serum glucose monitoring.

Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The random alphabet A and B will each be placed into an envelope. The envelopes were then distributed to the participants on a first come first serve basis during recruitment. Participants with the alphabet A received a cup of milk A whereas participants with the alphabet B received a cup of milk B.

The researcher along with a research supervisor will conduct this procedure. Both types of milk were prepared and provided by a local company. To maintain allocation concealment, both milk were made to appear similar (bottle type, bottle size, bottle colour, amount of milk, and colour of milk). The only exception is the label (code) attached to the bottom of the bottles, A for milk A and B for milk B. This was a double-blind study where both participants and experimenters were not exposed to the code.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomization and allocation concealment were conducted after obtaining informed consent. The participants will be randomized using block randomization (1:1).

Statistical methods / analysis
Number of participants needed to achieve study objectives is 60,
The sample size will be 60. Therefore, the total sample size is 30 in each group.

The data were statistically analysed using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. After the experiment is done and data had been collected, the data will be tabulated and entered into the SPSS. The type of compare means that will be used are paired T-test and independent T-test to compare independent variables (blood pressure, heart rate and serum glucose level). Descriptive statistics will be used to analyse data of tolerancy level and the side effect of both milks. The results of the research findings are reported in statistical format and the collected data will be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for data cleaning and analysis.

Summary
Brief summary
1. The findings of this study will aid the participants from UiTM Puncak Alam to get to know more about plant-based milk and animal-based milk. The findings obtained are to evaluate the short terms effects of both milk in their body by measuring and comparing their serum glucose level, heart rate and blood pressure before and after taking the milk.

2. The results of this study will also assist the Malaysian Ministry of Health and healthcare facilities in developing a number of new initiatives to raise awareness of plant-based milk as an alternative to patient who is vegetarian or lactose intolerance. As a result, it will contribute to improvement in care of patient over time.
