Ozonated oil: a new edge for elite athletes?
NCT ID NCT07801924
First seen Sep 03, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing whether daily ozonated oil supplements can improve aerobic capacity, maximal strength, and muscular endurance in elite rugby players over six months. The oil has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but its effect on performance is unclear. Participants take the supplement alongside their regular training, and researchers measure changes in fitness and injury rates.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ozonated oil (O3ZONE Sport) taken daily as an oral supplement
- What this could lead to
- If it works, ozonated oil could become a simple supplement to help athletes improve endurance and strength while reducing injury risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early trial with only 33 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The supplement's anti-inflammatory effects might not translate into measurable performance gains.
