Cherry powder may give young athletes an edge
NCT ID NCT07114341
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether taking a cornelian cherry powder supplement for one week could improve sprint performance and reduce fatigue in 50 young football players aged 13-18. Participants took 30 grams of the powder daily and performed sprint tests before and after. The goal was to see if this natural supplement could help athletes perform better and feel less tired.
