Summary
This trial investigates whether a 30-day course of a supplement containing curcumin, ginger, and piperine can reduce knee pain and inflammation in ultra-trail runners during a 175 km race. One hundred runners are randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo, and their pain levels are measured before and after the race. The goal is to see if this natural combination can help manage exercise-induced joint discomfort.
