Summary

This study will test whether a multi-ingredient recovery supplement from Liquid IV helps muscles recover faster after exercise. Thirty healthy, active adults will take either the supplement or a placebo after workouts, and researchers will measure strength, power, soreness, and hydration. The goal is to see if the supplement reduces muscle damage and speeds up recovery for people who exercise regularly.
