New research published in the prestigious British Journal of Nutrition involving Wellmune WGP® demonstrated that it prevented suppression of the immune system that normally occurs after intense exercise. These results join similar physical stress clinical studies, all finding that Wellmune may help recreational and elite athletes achieve training and performance goals by minimizing the “down time” associated with immune suppression.
In contrast to the placebo group, athletes taking Wellmune had a higher degree of immune support before and after exercise, as measured by monocyte concentrations and certain protective cytokine levels, notes study lead Brian McFarlin, Ph.D., FACSM, Associate Professor of Exercise Physiology, Nutrition and Immunology in the Department of Health and Human Performance at the University of Houston.
More about the study design and results are in the news release and abstract.
