Creatine Effective as an Antioxidant During Resistance Training Researchers from the Laboratoria de Fisioilogia, UFCSPA/Porto, Alegre, Brazil set out to test that creatine supplementation may provide antioxidant activity by scavenging Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) since this has not yet been described in the literature. They investigated the effect of creatine monohydrate supplementation associated with resistance training over maximum strength gain and oxidative stress in rats. Forty male rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups: Sedentary (SED), Sedentary + Creatine (SED-Cr), Resistance Training (RT) and Resistance Training + Creatine (RT-Cr). Results from this 8 week study showed greater strength gains in the SED-Cr, RT and RT-Cr groups compared to the SED group. The RT-Cr group showed the highest maximum strength gain when compared to other groups. Researchers concluded creatine to be an effective antioxidant with supplementation alone and also when it was associated with resistance training. (Stefani GP, Nunes RB, Dornelles AZ, et al.

New Meta-Analysis Supports Whey Protein for Improved Body CompositionResearchers from the Exponent,
Inc., Health Sciences, Chicago,
IL conducted a comprehensive
literature search of 14 randomized
controlled trials (RCTs) that
investigated whey protein
concentrate, isolate or hydrolysate
on body weight, bodymass index
(BMI) body fat, lean body mass
(LBM), fat-free mass and waist
circumference in healthy adults.
Results indicated a statistically
signifcant increase in LBM among
studies that included a resistance
exercise component along with
whey protein provision. When
researchers analyzed those weight
loss studies that used whey protein
to replace calories in the diet,
participants had a decrease in body
weight of 9.2 lbs. Researchers
concluded the scientifc literature
supports the use of whey protein,
either as a supplement combined
with resistance exercise or as
part of a weight loss or weight
maintenance diet, to improve body
composition parameters. (Miller

Ashwagandha is Safe and Efective in Reducing Stress and Anxiety in AdultsResearchers from the Department of Neuropsychiatry, Asha Hospital, Pradesh, India set out to evaluate the safety and effcacy of an Ashwagandha root extract in reducing stress and anxiety in adults. Sixty-four subjects with a history of chronic stress were randomized to either the placebo control group or the treatment group given a high-concentration full spectrum Ashwagandha extract for 60 days. Subjects taking the Ashwagandha supplement exhibited a signifcant reduction in scores on all the stress-assessment scales relative to the placebo group. Serum cortisol levels were substantially reduced in the Ashwagandha group, relative to the placebo group. Researchers concluded that a high-concentration full-spectrum Ashwagandha root extract safely and effectively improves an individual’s resistance towards stress and thereby improves self-assessed quality of life.
