This is a summary of a human clinical study that concluded in June 2024 concerning the effect of a suite of Max International formulations on athletic performance.
What You Need to Know
Independent Study:
The study was conducted by a reputable independent company that performs human clinical trials. This is the same company that conducted the RiboCeine GSH Clinical Trial.
Study Title:
Max International Elite Performance Study
Study Facts:
The study consisted of 17 adults aged 20 to 60 who exercise regularly (at least 3 times per week). Three individuals were professional Triathletes, several were competitive athletes, while others were prominent figures in the world of health optimization.
The trial design was pre-post observational.
The supplementation protocol required:
- Cellgevity: Every morning with at least 8 ounces of water.
- МахАТР: Daily 15-20min before workout. If no workout, to be taken during middle of the day.
- MaxN~Fuze: Daily within 40min after workout or else to be taken during middle of the day.
- Cellgevity: Every evening with at least 8 ounces of water.
NOTE: Based on the results delivered, many serious and competitive athletes might choose to take larger doses of certain formulations to achieve desired outcomes, particularly during competition. However, for purposes of this study the protocol required that they take only standard doses as specified on the package instructions.
Data Collection:
A Garmin wearable device gathered the following data:
- Sleep metrics
- Activity metrics
- Heart rate
- Stress index
Data were divided into three evaluation periods as follows:
- Baseline assessments (approximately 15 days);
- Intervention Phase (approximately 32 days); and
- Washout Period (approximately 12 days).
General Observations:
- Moderate improvements in the objective data as measured by the Garmin wearable were observed.
- Self reported outcomes were more pronounced, and participants reported a statistically significant increase in four assessments.
- While no statistically significant differences were observed in overall sleep duration, deep sleep, light sleep, or awake duration, there was a noticeable increase in REM sleep duration that persisted into the washout period.
- Participants reported significant improvements in athletic performance, recovery, energy levels, mental acuity, and overall well-being.
- Additionally, there was a slight reduction in heart rate during the Intervention phase, and participants expressed high satisfaction with both the supplements and the study overall.
Self-reported Statistically Significant Outcomes:
- Athletic performance improved 22%
- Recovery after exercise improved 24%
- Increased energy levels up 21%
- Mental acuity and concentration up 11%
Understanding the Outcomes:
While some outcomes were incremental in nature, even moderate improvements in elite performers is considered highly meaningful because:
- High Baseline Performance: Athletes typically already perform at a high level, so even small improvements can result in significant gains in their performance, recovery, or overall health.
- Competitive Edge: In competitive sports, marginal gains can be the difference between winning and losing. Small enhancements in performance, endurance, or recovery can give athletes a crucial edge over their competitors.
- Cumulative Effect: Over time, incremental improvements can accumulate, leading to substantial progress in an athlete’s overall performance and capabilities. Consistent small gains can result in significant long-term benefits.
