Clinical Trial: Effects of Nattokinase Supplementation on Strength Recovery and Muscle Damage Biomarkers Following Exercise-Induced Muscle Injury: A Pilot Study

U.S., Sept. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07836634) titled 'Effects of Nattokinase Supplementation on Strength Recovery and Muscle Damage Biomarkers Following Exercise-Induced Muscle Injury: A Pilot Study' on Sept. 14.

Brief Summary: This pilot study aims to investigate whether 4 weeks of nattokinase supplementation (2,000 FU/day) affects recovery following exercise-induced muscle damage in healthy adult men. Approximately 12 to 16 participants aged 18 to 40 years will receive either nattokinase or a matching placebo during the supplementation period. After supplementation, participants will complete an exercise protocol designed to induce temporary muscle damage. Recovery will be evaluated...
