Could a natural duo curb Post-Workout pain?
NCT ID NCT07766720
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether taking eggshell membrane and a highly absorbable form of curcumin, alone or together, can reduce muscle soreness, joint pain, and stiffness after intense exercise. Healthy, recreationally active men aged 18 to 40 will take the supplements or placebos before and after exercise sessions. Researchers will measure changes in pain ratings, muscle damage markers, and exercise performance to see if these natural ingredients support faster recovery.
