New clinical study shows the benefits of grape extract supplementation in elite sports nutrition
INSPIRED by the traditional principle of the French Paradox, a red grape extract from a high-quality Bordeaux variety has been developed to take advantage of its tonic and protective properties against oxidative stress, which have been demonstrated in several clinical studies. Most recently, new clinical study published in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine confirms the efficacy of a red grape extract supplementation from Naturex. With its unique composition of polyphenols, 揚owergrape?has been recently demonstrated to enhance the antioxidant status and physical performance in elite male athletes. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study involved 20 athletes from different sports (handball, basketball, sprint, and volleyball). After one month of supplementation with 400 mg of Powergrape per day, scientists observed the following in athletes: 旾mprovements in the antioxidant status of the body measured by ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) and FRAP** methods, and reduction of oxidative stress induced by physical exercise. 昍eduction of cell damage in muscle and plasma during physical exercise, as suggested by the decrease of creatine phosphokinase (CpK) and the increase of hemoglobin concentrations in plasma. Increase of the global performance proven by a physical test. These results mark the grape extract as an ally of professional sportsmen during competition. Moreover, it has received the Informed-Sport certification, guaranteeing that it does not contain any forbidden doping substance. That means that Powergrape is regularly tested for World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) banned substances by HFL Sport Science, the world's largest sports drug surveillance and research laboratory, with more than 40 years of leadership in doping control in sport.(finished) * More information on the article:www.jssm.org/vol8/n3/22/v8n3-22text.php ** The ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) as a measure of 揳ntioxidant power?bk=Save
