New Human Clinical Study on ActiGin® Supplementation Supports Senescent Cell Clearance, Improved Endurance, and Faster Recovery
BREA, Calif (PRWEB) July 11, 2018 -- In a human clinical study recently published in the Journal of Ginseng Research, researchers investigated supplementation of a dietary ingredient and its effects on endurance and aging. The dietary ingredient, trademarked ActiGin®, is developed by NuLiv Science USA Inc, an Orange County California-based company.
The study explored the clearance of senescence-associated β-galactosidase in exercising human skeletal muscles. Researchers examined changes of SA-β-gal signal, apoptotic DNA content, and CD68+ macrophage in human skeletal muscle after aerobic cycling under ActiGin® supplemented conditions.
Key findings of the human study show 1.) SA-β-gal decreased by 63% below baseline (from 1.6% to 0.6%) when ActiGin® was orally supplemented 1 hour before exercise; 2.) ActiGin® supplementation enhanced exercised-induced iNOS and IL-6 mRNA levels of skeletal muscles and decreased the amount of apoptotic nuclei during post-exercise recovery; 3.) ActiGin® supplementation supported shielding the increase in leukocyte infiltration after exercise; 4.) ActiGin® supplementation activates functions of phagocytic macrophage in muscles; and 5.) ActiGin® improves cycling performance, assessed by 80% Vo2 max, by increasing cycling time to exhaustion by 12% and power output by 13%.
Exercise-induced muscle inflammation is a common experience among amateur and professional athletes worldwide. The new research findings further demonstrate that ActiGin® supports improving performance by clearing out aged, non-dividing cells, mitigating exercise-induced inflammation, as well as improving glycogen storage and usage by muscle tissue.
“We now have a growing body of evidence that ActiGin® supports optimized physiological output. There is an ongoing three year longitudinal study evaluating ActiGin® on aging in muscle tissue.” shares Richard Wang, President of NuLiv Science USA Inc.
This is the second human study on ActiGin® by NuLiv Science, with a prior human study published in PLOS One. This study comes at a time when there is increasing interest in senolytics and combating the root causes of aging at the cellular level.
