Table 2. Daily energy and nutrient intakes among study participants assessed by the average of dietary recalls for two consecutive days at baseline evaluation (t0) and after 11 days (t2) of using provided dietary supplements.
%TEI, percentage of total energy intake; p < 0.05 – statistically significant difference between t0 and t2 within the same intervention group.<br>aMean±SD, the standard deviation for normal distribution
