Kaneko M, et al. (2022). Journal of Functional Foods.
Fermented extract with fulvic acid reduces fatigue and oxidative stress in healthy adults.
Pub version: Fulvic helps athletes feel less tired and recover faster.
12-week RCT where the active intervention (OM-X) explicitly includes fulvic acid among its constituents. The study demonstrated improved subjective fatigue scores and examined oxidative/antioxidant markers. While not a direct athletic performance trial, the fatigue and oxidative stress markers studied are training-adjacent and relevant to sports recovery.
