Results. The damaging exercise bout significantly increased muscle soreness, and
reduced perceived recovery; however, PROBC significantly increased recovery at
24 and 72 h, and decreased soreness at 72 h post exercise in comparison to PRO.
Perceptual measures were confirmed by increases in CK (PRO: +266.8%, p=0.0002;
PROBC: +137.7%, p=0.01), with PROBC showing a trend towards reduced muscle
damage (p=0.08). The muscle-damaging exercise resulted in significantly increased
muscle swelling and Blood Urea Nitrogen levels in both conditions with no difference
between groups. The strenuous exercise significantly reduced athletic performance in
PRO (Wingate Peak Power; PRO: (−39.8 watts, −5.3%, p=0.03)), whereas PROBC
maintained performance (+10.1 watts, +1.7%).
Conclusions. The results provide evidence that probiotic supplementation in combi-
nation with protein tended to reduce indices of muscle damage, improves recovery,
and maintains physical performance subsequent to damaging exercise

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
