Curcumin Ingredient Found to Aid Sports Recovery

By: Lisa Olivo

Indena presented new research on Meriva at the Football Medicine Strategies for Player Care Conference, held at The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre on April 11 and 12.
 
Meriva is a proprietary lecithin-based and diet inspired delivery system of curcumin, which the study indicated may aid in sports nutrition by attenuating Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) due to eccentric muscle activity.
 
The interest for Merivain sports nutrition has been further confirmed in a second recent studypublished in 2015 by independent researchers from the Universities of Stirling and Malta, investigating the effect of a low dose of Merivasupplementation on cytokine and inflammatory marker responses, following 2 hours of endurance cycling. This study could provide the basis for future investigations with larger samples and multiple Meriva dosages to determine if different curcumin regimens can lead to statistically different interleukin levels when compared to a control and placebo in endurance cycling.
 
Furthermore, the company said several teams in different disciplines including football have added a supplement containing Merivain the diet of their athletes. According to doctors who look after the athletes, Meriva plays a key role in helping players retain their peak physical and mental condition even when subjected to considerable stress.
