Evaluation of SODB® (Superoxide Dismutase by Bionov®) in the Physical Condition Improvement in Healthy Subjects

Evaluation of SODB®, Associated With a Physical Training, in the Physical Condition Improvement in Healthy Subjects: Randomized Double-blind Study Versus Placebo

The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of a 10 weeks SODB® supplementation in physical condition improvements of healthy subjects, in comparison to a placebo.

Beneficial experimental results have already been obtained with SODB®. That is why, the investigators expect several effects of SODB® here. Indeed, this clinical study could show that SODB® is able to improve physical conditions, and particularly at muscular and cardiac levels, by inducing a decrease in oxidative stress.
