¹Values are mean ± SEM, n = 8–9/data point.

See legend to Table 1 for abbreviations.

Letters in the same column are different when the values were significantly different from one supplement to another (P ≤ 0.05).

^*All conditions were different between AUC 0–4 h vs. 4–8 h (P ≤ 0.043) except for CTL and C12 (P > 0.106).
