NCT04597983

Brief Summary

This clinical study evaluates the effect of 500 mg of 2S-hesperidin for 8 weeks on performance (power generated in different metabolic zones), body composition (fat and muscle mass) and biochemical (antioxidant, inflammatory status) and metabolic (capillary blood in finger) markers in amateur cyclists. Our hypothesis is that chronic intake of 2S-hesperidin can improve performance (maximum power generated). To justify this hypothesis, we measured the parameters mentioned above, which could establish a cause-effect relationship between 2S-hesperidin intake and possible yield improvement.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Maximum power

    During the incremental test until exhaustion, the power generated was measured maximum power (W)

    Throughout study completion, an average of 8 weeks

  • Power generated at FatMax

    During the incremental test until exhaustion, the power generated was measured in FatMax (W)

    Throughout study completion, an average of 8 weeks

  • Power generated at ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1)

    During the incremental test until exhaustion, the power generated was measured in VT1 (W)

    Throughout study completion, an average of 8 weeks

  • Power generated at ventilatory threshold 2 (VT2)

    During the incremental test until exhaustion, the power generated was measured in VT2 (W)

    Throughout study completion, an average of 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (39)

  • Fat mass

    Throughout study completion, an average of 8 weeks

  • Sum of 8 skinfolds

    Throughout study completion, an average of 8 weeks

  • Muscle mass

    Throughout study completion, an average of 8 weeks

  • Resting metabolic rate

    Throughout study completion, an average of 8 weeks

  • Superoxide dismutase (antioxidant marker)

    Superoxide dismutase was measured in pre, after the maximum power phase of the rectangular test and after the recovery phase in pre and post intervention (8 weeks) in both groups.

  • +34 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

2S-hesperidin

EXPERIMENTAL

This group took 500 mg (capsules) per day at breakfast of 2S-hesperidin (Cardiose®) for 8 weeks

Dietary Supplement: 2S-hesperidin

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

This group took 500 mg of microcellulose (capsules) per day at breakfast for 8 weeks

Dietary Supplement: Placebo

Interventions

2S-hesperidinDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Cardiose® is a natural orange extract that due to its unique manufacturing process, maintains most of the natural hesperidin isomeric form (2S)

Also known as: Cardiose®
2S-hesperidin
PlaceboDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Microcellulose was used, this molecule was selected to avoid affecting the glycemia, as it can occur with dextrose or maltodextrin.

Masking Details
The company that performed the encapsulation of both the 2S-hesperidin and the placebo performed the randomization, therefore no one on the research team or the sponsors knew which group each study subject belonged to. The results of the randomization were sent to our laboratory after the end of the study to determine which subjects composed each group

Intervention Model
PARALLEL
Model Details: A randomized parallel study was conducted, where 40 amateur cyclists were divided into 2 groups: one group took 500 mg of 2S-hesperidin (n= 20) and the other group took 500 mg of placebo (microcellulose) (n= 20). All participants completed the study.
