GliSODin supplementation demonstrated positive effects on selected inflammatory markers in a 2000-meter rowing ergometer test, according to a new human clinical study published in The International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism.
The double-blinded study included 19 members of the Polish National Rowing Team who were participating in a training camp. Subjects were randomly assigned to the supplemented group (n = 10), who received 500 mg of GliSODin extract once daily for 6 weeks, or the placebo group (n = 9).
At the beginning and end of the study, subjects performed a 2000-meter maximum effort test on a rowing ergometer. Blood samples were taken before each test, 1 minute after completing the test and after a 24-hour rest period. After supplementation, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was significantly higher in the supplemented group at all measurement times, and post-exercise C-reactive protein was significantly lower in athletes receiving GliSODin than those in the placebo group. In conclusion, supplementation with an extract rich in SOD activity promoted antioxidant status and protected against increased inflammation in the serum of professional rowers.
