Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Blood pressure is measured using a task force monitor at baseline and averaged over these different timepoints post-ingestion: 0-10min, 10-20min, 20-40min, 40-60min and 100-120min	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Vasodilation was calculated using task force monitor (i.e. total peripheral resistance) and estimated using thermographic pictures (hand temperature) at baseline and averaged over these different timepoints post-ingestion: 0-10min, 10-20min, 20-40min, 40-60min and 100-120min.	—
