ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a supplement called glucosyl-hesperidin (CitraPeak) affects exercise performance, recovery, blood flow, thinking abilities, mood, and sleep in active adults. Researchers want to see if different amounts of this supplement can help improve how well people perform during exercise and how quickly they recover afterward. The goal is to find out if it can enhance overall fitness and well-being.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 50 years old and have a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 30, which means you should be slightly overweight but not obese. You should also exercise regularly, completing at least 180 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise each week for the past six months. Participants will need to maintain a consistent sleep schedule before study visits and must be in good health without any serious medical conditions. If you qualify, you can expect to take the supplement and provide feedback on how it affects your exercise and daily life.
