Clinical Trial Summary

This is a double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial to evaluate the effect of Maolactin FMR supplementation on post exercise inflammation, exercise recovery and muscle fatigue and pain in an otherwise healthy population of adults 18-65 years old over 10 weeks with 8 weeks of supplementation. This is PART A of the study.

• Any condition which in the opinion of the investigator makes the participant unsuitable for inclusion

1. A serious illness is a condition that carries a risk of mortality, negatively impacts quality of life and daily function and/or is burdensome in symptoms and/or treatments.

2. An unstable illness is any illness that is currently not being treated with a stable dose of medication or is fluctuating in severity.

3. An unstable intake is any dose that has changed by more than 10% of the previous dose in the past 4-weeks
