Robuvit® French Oak Wood Extract for Sports
Physical exercise is a vital component of a balanced and healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet plays a significant role for those who want to stay fit or want to achieve better athletic performances. Fields of application may range from improving energy, reducing cramping or faster post-workout recovery time to gaining or maintaining muscle mass for better performances.
Robuvit® – a standardized, patented extract of French oak wood – has shown to be a versatile all-round supplement for sports performance (1-3). Researchers observed beneficial effects of Robuvit® on energy generation and fatigue in athletes, healthy volunteers and in people with different conditions, affecting their vitality (1-10). In addition, Robuvit® has shown to improve recovery after exercise and after different conditions (1-3,11-19). The mechanisms of action explaining these effects are subject to ongoing research but may include increase of muscle proteins production, regeneration of mitochondria - “cell powerhouses” - and limitation of oxidative stress (3,20-22).
