The Effects of Enzymes & Flavonoids on Inflammation & Coagulation After

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the present study is to investigate changes in inflammatory status and incidence of infection after extreme aerobic physical stress (participation in a marathon). In addition, the impact of marathon running on the hemostasis and muscular state will be evaluated. Changes at the inflammatory, muscular, and rheological level will be related to ingestion of oral hydrolytic enzymes and bioflavonoids.

Clinical Trial Description

The influence of extreme physical stress, such as that experienced during marathon competition, on the inflammatory system and coagulation has been investigated. However, up until now, countermeasures against these adverse effects are not adequately identified.

Immune-modulators (e.g. flavonoids) are known to be present in fruits and vegetables. There are also several different proteolytic and hydrolytic enzymes found in fruits most of whom are attributed protective properties. Therefore, 160 trained and untrained runners will consume a mixture of different enzymes and flavonoids (Wobenzym Plus®) or PL 1 (placebo) and effects on changes in inflammation and hemostasiologic parameters will be investigated during and after extreme physical stress (participation in a marathon race). The clinical result of the perturbation of the immune system will be assessed by the Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey (WURSS-24) with regard to symptoms of the upper respiratory tract system.

It is hypothesized that the intake of a product with immunomodulatory potential (Wobenzym Plus ®, consisting of hydrolytic enzymes and flavonoids) can positively influence both inflammation and blood coagulation pertubations observed after a marathon race. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
