Energy and Sports Performances
Robuvit® as an energy booster for sports
Research shows natural extract Robuvit® heightens performance in training and workouts. A recent study has shown Robuvit® French oak wood extract speeds up recovery time, boosts endurance and increases training efficiency.
The performance of 54 men and women during a triathlon was measured in a recent clinical study. Time to run a 5 km run was significantly faster in the Robuvit® group, and the overall triathlon performance was also significantly improved, in both Women and Men groups.
Mood, Stress and Burnout
Burnout
Experts say employee burnout is approaching epidemic levels. A recent survey by Yale University[1] revealed that one-out-of-five highly engaged employees report feeling burnt out and a Kronos survey found that burnout is responsible for up to 50 % of their annual workforce turnover.
A recent study has shown that supplementing with Robuvit® daily can help alleviate feelings of workplace burnout by reducing fatigue.
Supplementation with Robuvit® is shown to develop Robuvit® metabolites which make energy-generating mitochondria much more efficient, delivering a noticeable and verifiable energy boost.
Mood
In two separate clinical studies, patients experienced less fatigue and higher energy and reported improved mood after supplementing with Robuvit®. A clinical study with 91 subjects, based on the BMIS questionnaire (Brief Mood Introspection Scale) has shown a significant impact of Robuvit® on mood. The score for the overall mood of the Robuvit® group of subjects actually switched from a majority of unpleasant feelings to a majority of pleasant ones.
Fatigue Due to Lack of Sleep
Insomnia
One in ten adults experience chronic sleep disturbance. A peer-reviewed, published registry study shows that supplementing with the natural antioxidant, Robuvit® French oak wood extract, can help improve sleep quality and mood and reduce daytime sleepiness and overall fatigue. Researchers evaluated sleep disturbance, fatigue, and mood fluctuations using a combination of scoring scales, including: the Regensburg Insomnia Scale, Fatigue Severity Scale and Brief Mood Introspection Scale (BMIS).
Sleep Quality
"Clinical research shows that Robuvit® helps to combat fatigue and accompanying poor memory and concentration, poor sleep quality, headaches and extreme exhaustion" said health and nutrition expert and best-selling author Dr. Fred Pescatore. “This research shows encouraging results for patients experiencing negative life impacts from lack of sleep. Improving your sleep cycle affects all your daily activities – your mood, concentration and activity level."
Liver Health, Detox and Lymphatic System
Liver: our body's detox engine
A healthy liver regulates blood sugar, proteins, and fat in the bloodstream and plays a key role in removing toxins from it. It also processes nutrients absorbed by our intestines and ensures our body functions properly. In addition, our liver produces cholesterol and albumin, an important protein, and it breaks down drugs and alcohol. That is why it is important we take care of it. In a recent study, Robuvit® was shown to help normalize elevated liver enzymes and decreased albumin levels, as well as reduce oxidative stress in plasma.
The key role of the lymphatic system
The lymphatic system has various functions: it removes fluid from interstitial tissues and transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones. Lymphedema is a fluid retention and swelling of tissues caused by a dysfunction of the lymphatic system. Robuvit® helps maintain healthy fluid levels and amounts of interstitial proteins, as well as improve microcirculation and tissue oxygenation.
