About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Acute and Chronic Effects of Supradyn® Energy 3RDA on Ratings of 'Fatigue/Stress', Substrate Metabolism and Blood Biomarkers of Recovery, as a Consequence of Exercise and Metabolically Demanding Cognitive Tasks

Investigation of the acute and chronic effects of Supradyn® Energy 3RDA on subjective ratings of 'fatigue/stress', substrate metabolism and blood biomarkers of recovery, as a consequence of exercise and metabolically demanding cognitive tasks.

Read the detailed description

Supplementation with vitamins and minerals has been shown to enhance energy production, metabolism, and mood state. It is thought that they may also aid recovery from challenging physical and psychological tasks following both acute and chronic supplementation. The present study will investigate the effects of a multivitamin/mineral supplement (Supradyn® Energy 3RDA) following a single intake and following daily intake for 4-weeks on subjective ratings of 'fatigue/stress', metabolism and blood biomarkers of cell damage following both exercise and demanding cognitive tasks, in healthy young male and female volunteers.

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Acute treatment effects on energy expenditure/metabolism during physical stress

    ICa (Indirect Calorimetry) data obtained to determine energy expenditure, fat and carbohydrate oxidation

    Measured: Measures taken following acute treatment during cognitive task performance (135 minutes post acute treatment)

  3. Chronic treatment effects on energy expenditure/metabolism during physical stress

    ICa (Indirect Calorimetry) data obtained to determine energy expenditure, fat and carbohydrate oxidation

    Measured: Measures taken following 28 days' chronic treatment, during exercise performance

  4. Chronic treatment effects on energy expenditure/metabolism during mental stress

    ICa (Indirect Calorimetry) data obtained to determine energy expenditure, fat and carbohydrate oxidation

    Measured: Measures taken following 28 days' chronic treatment, during cognitive task performance

  5. Acute treatment effects on subjective arousal/stress/fatigue ratings as assessed by visual analogue scales during physical stress

    Subjective ratings of arousal (concentration, mental stamina/physical stamina) stress and fatigue (mentally tired/physically tired) visual analogue scales (scored along 100mm line)

    Measured: Following acute treatment, measures taken before, after and every 10 minutes during 30 minute exercise period

  6. Acute treatment effects on subjective arousal/stress/fatigue ratings as assessed by visual analogue scales during mental stress.

    Subjective ratings of arousal (concentration, mental stamina/physical stamina) stress and fatigue (mentally tired/physically tired) visual analogue scales (scored along 100mm line)

    Measured: Following acute treatment, taken at baseline and following exercise (75 minutes post-dose) and cognitive task performance (165 minutes post-dose). Then at 24h and 48hours post-exercise.

  10. Chronic (28 days) treatment effects on recovery biomarkers

    Measuring levels of Interleukin-6, F2 isoprostanes, protein carbonyls, C-reactive protein, glutathione peroxidase, taken to assess recovery from exercise

    Measured: Following 28 days treatment, taken at baseline, following exercise and cognitive task performance. Then at 24h and 48hours post-exercise.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Acute treatment effects on vitamin/mineral/homocysteine levels

    Measuring levels of Ferritin, vitamin B12, homocysteine, creatinine

    Measured: Measured at baseline, then following acute treatment, after exercise (75 minutes post-dose)

  2. Chronic (28 days) treatment effects on vitamin/mineral/homocysteine levels

    Measuring levels of Ferritin, vitamin B12, homocysteine, creatinine

    Measured: Following chronic (28 days) treatment, measured after exercise

  3. Acute treatment effects on cognitive performance

    Tasks include serial 3s, serial 7s and RVIP (Rapid Visual Information Processing), repeated 3 times

    Measured: Following acute treatment, measured 135 minutes post dose

  4. Chronic (28 days) treatment effects on cognitive performance

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Supradyn® Energy 3RDA in people with Healthy, run by Northumbria University at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acute treatment effects on energy expenditure/metabolism during physical stress (time frame: Measures taken following acute treatment during exercise (45 minutes post acute treatment)). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03003442, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
