A Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Assess the Effect of a Postbiotic on Oxidative Stress and Exercise Performance (PBE)
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the postbiotic blend or a placebo in a double-blind fashion. The study includes an 8-week intervention period, with baseline and follow-up assessments conducted to evaluate changes in key biomarkers and performance metrics.
The primary outcome measure will focus on changes in malondialdehyde concentrations, a key marker of oxidative stress. Secondary outcomes will include assessments of other oxidative stress markers, immune function, and exercise performance. Detailed descriptions of these outcome measures are provided in the "Outcome Measures" section.
Participants will undergo a series of assessments at baseline, mid-study, and post-intervention. These assessments include blood draws, VO2 peak testing, and exercise performance tests. Participants will also be required to maintain a daily diary documenting their health status, medication/supplement use, and any adverse events.
The total study duration is 8-10 weeks, including a pre-study screening phase, 8 weeks of intervention, and a follow-up assessment.
