      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Before beginning the study, an outsider who is familiar with the randomization method prepares 4 blocks of random blocks, then randomly identifies the sequences and groups them in a closed envelope, named A, B, C, and D. After the individuals enter the study, the sealed envelopes containing the assigned group of participants will be opened for each participant based on the sequence determined by the person outside the study, Blinding description: The appearance of the beverage powders and sachets in which they are packaged are quite similar. The sachets will be named with the Latin letters A, B, C, and D. In the clinical phase of the study, the random allocation sequence is done with the same letters. Therefore, the researcher and all participants will be blinded to the intervention.</study_design>
