NCT04684771

Brief Summary

Evaluation of efficacy and tolerance of a food supplement (MYOSTIM®) versus a placebo in postoperative revalidation of patients after reconstructive surgery of anterior cruciate ligament. The food supplement (MYOSTIM®) has been developped and is supplied as food bars and composed of pomegranate, leucine, creatine, proteins and D vitamin. The aim of this exploratory study is to assess the efficacy and tolerance of MYOSTIM® on muscle performance after ACL reconstructive surgery and in postoperative revalidation phase.
