Effects of Lactobacillus Paracasei PS23 on Anti-fatigue

Effects of Lactobacillus Paracasei PS23 on Anti-fatigue

This research is to explore the effects of supplementing Lactobacillus paracasei PS23 to reduce fatigue and improve physical fitness after exhaustive exercise.

Studies have found that the intestinal flora of athletes is different from that of ordinary people, and short-chain fatty acids play a very important role. Previous animal experiments have found that supplementing with specific probiotics can slow down muscle loss in aging mice. In addition, clinical studies have found that supplementing with probiotics can improve sports performance by regulating the intestinal flora and related metabolites. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to explore the effects of supplementing Lactobacillus paracasei PS23 to reduce fatigue and improve physical fitness after exhaustive exercise. This study compares supplementary samples with placebo and adopts a double-blind study design.
