H2HUBB TAKEAWAY

In 18 healthy, trained participants, hCP increased absolute values of deoxy[Hb + Mb] at the RF but not VL.

What the Researchers Studied

18 healthy, trained participants.

How the Study Was Conducted

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial.

What the Researchers Found

HCP increased absolute values of deoxy[Hb + Mb] at the RF but not VL.

Authors’ Conclusion

The authors concluded that hCP-induced hypoventilation would lead to lower pH and secondarily impaired balance between O₂ delivery and utilization in the local RF during exercise, suggesting that HCP supplementation, which increases the at-rest antioxidant potential, affects the lower ventilation and pH status during incremental exercise.
