Summary
This study tests whether a drink containing caprylic acid and omega-3 fatty acids can help muscles recover strength after a tough workout. Twenty-eight healthy young men will take the supplement for seven days and do a muscle-damaging exercise. Researchers will measure muscle strength and fatigue before and up to 72 hours after exercise to see if the drink speeds up recovery compared to a control drink.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple nutritional supplement to speed up muscle recovery after intense exercise.
