All natural sports supplement VO2 BOOST® was scientifically engineered to significantly increase VO2 max, aerobic capacity and running economy to enhance athletic endurance and performance. No other formula on the market is as complete as VO2-BOOST® for increasing VO2 max as demonstrated in the clinical study shown below.
Xiao Y , Huang X and Zhu J. (2008) Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial and assessment of fermentation product of Cordyceps sinensis (Cs-4) in enhancing aerobic capacity and respiratory function of the healthy elderly volunteers. Chin J Integr Med. 10:187-192.
PURPOSE: To assess the effect of Cordyceps sinensis (Cs-4) on the exercise capacity of healthy elderly people in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
METHODS: Thirty-seven healthy, elderly Chinese subjects were randomly assigned to receive either Cs-4 (3g/day) or identical placebo capsules. Their exercise performance was tested before and after a 6 weeks trial with a symptom-limited, incremental work rate protocol on a cycle ergometer. Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) was measured using a metabolic chart. Anaerobic thresholds (VO2 q ) were identified by two observers using plots of both VCO2 vs. VO2 and VE/VO2 vs time.
RESULTS: After taking Cs-4 for 6 weeks, VO2max (1.88 ±0.13 to 2.00 ±0.14 L/min;P = 0.050) and VO2θ (1.15 ±0.07 to 1.30 ±0.09 L/min;P = 0.012) were significantly increased, whereas after placebo application they were unchanged.
CONCLUSION: Cordyceps sinensis (Cs-4) significantly increased VO2max, oxygen uptake, aerobic capacity, and resistance to fatigue in human subjects.
