About this study
The investigators performed a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fermented Velvet Antler extract on fatigue recovery after exercise. The investigators measured fatigue recovery parameters , including lactate, ammonia, inorganic phosphorus, creatine kinase and LDH, and monitored their blood pressure.
