Athletic Recovery: Acai Extract & Muscle Damage Attenuation
By Phytochemical & Botanical Research Council•
Clinical Takeaway & Phytochemical Summary
Exercise physiology: reducing serum creatine kinase (CK), lowering lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and accelerating eccentric muscle torque recovery.
Strenuous eccentric resistance exercise produces transient mechanical myofibrillar damage and secondary reactive oxygen species (ROS) inflammation.
1. Biomarker Kinetics in Athletic Trials
- Creatine Kinase (CK) Suppression: Daily supplementation with standardized acai pulp reduces peak post-exercise CK elevation by 28% to 35%.
- Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Clearance: Accelerated cellular clearance of metabolic byproducts preserves mitochondrial respiration during repeat sprints.
- DOMS Soreness Reduction: Blunted interleukin-6 (IL-6) systemic spikes correlate with faster subjective force recovery at 48 hours post-training.
