Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this investigation is to examine the effects of consuming a new dietary microalgae based supplement vs. placebo on neuromuscular function, energy utilization, soreness, perceptual wellness, swelling, and markers of muscle damage and inflammation in healthy young men before and after an acute exercise-induced muscle damage protocol (downhill running), and influence on endurance capacity after prolonged consumption.
