Sports Nutrition & Recovery Claims
Sports Nutrition & Recovery Claims
Performance and recovery claims require more than endurance markers they demand evidence of how a product impacts cellular energy, muscle stress response, and recovery biology. We design assays that directly evaluate bioenergetics, oxidative stress, and muscle recovery pathways:
Mitochondrial Function:
Quantified via the Seahorse XF Analyzer (OCR and ECAR) to precisely assess ATP production, metabolic flexibility, and mitochondrial efficiency, which are key drivers of fatigue resistance and endurance.
Oxidative Stress & Recovery:
Cell-based models monitor ROS levels and cellular damage under stress conditions.
Cellular Characterization:
A flow cytometer characterizes cell viability, apoptosis, and mitochondrial health, providing high-resolution insight into protection and recovery mechanisms.
Systemic Response:
Luminex Intelliflex provides multiplex cytokine profiling for simultaneous measurement of inflammation alongside recovery-associated biomarkers.
The Result:
An integrated approach that substantiates claims related to reduced fatigue, improved endurance, and faster recovery with strong mechanistic backing.
