About
This pilot investigation will conduct a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind study in 150 volunteers (age: 18-74 years) over a period of 90 consecutive days. A statistician will be involved in this project. Body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood chemistry, blood pressure and heart rate, body and hand grip strength, speed and endurance studies including open circuit spirometry-based assessment of pulmonary function will be assessed. Other parameters to be evaluated include oxygen consumption, CO2 production and metabolic parameters, VO2 max, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), anaerobic threshold, ventilatory equivalents for oxygen (VE/V02) and exhaled carbon dioxide (VE/VC02)2,3. Subjects will participate in completed maximal graded exercise tests (GXT) on a treadmill or in set distance open-field sprints using open-circuit spirometry. Lower and Upper Body Strength will be evaluated. E-Diary will be provided to all participants. Survey Monkey program will be provided to all subjects and regularly updated by all study participants daily and endorsed by the co-Principal Investigator.
Full description
A novel patented Prodovite® VMP35 Multi-Nutrient-Complex (MNC), a vitamin, mineral, and phytonutrient encapsulated liquid formulation, was prepared using a novel proprietary SK713 SLP multi-lamellar clustoidal non-GMO phospholipid Prodosome nutrient absorption/delivery technology in a state-of-the-art multistep cGMP and NSF-certified manufacturing facility. This developmental technology is biodegradable and biocompatible. Preliminary study in our laboratory demonstrated the efficacy of Prodovite® VMP35 in Sports Nutrition. We hypothesize that Prodovite® VMP35 supplement will enhance athletic performance, lean-body muscle mass, increase exercise tolerance, and improve anabolic parameters in healthy human subjects. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of oral supplementation of Prodovite® VMP35 on exercise endurance, muscle strength, anabolic parameters and lean body mass in healthy human subjects. We hypothesize that Prodovite® VMP35 supplementation will enhance and increase exercise performance, tolerance, lean-body muscle mass, improve anabolic parameters and blood chemistry parameters in healthy human subjects. Accordingly, 150 healthy male and female subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either Prodovite® VMP35 or placebo in the form of single dose sealed containers for 90 consecutive days and muscle strength, endurance, speed, anabolic/catabolic parameters and muscle mass will be evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), hand-grip strength test, cycle ergometer test, spirometer assessment and assay of Blood chemistry and serum biomarkers will be evaluated before and after intervention.
