Quick Summary

In this randomized controlled study, a supplement containing the structured lipids EPA and MCT improved some measures of endurance, compared to a physical mixture of EPA and MCT. However, the study lacked a true placebo control group.

What was studied?

The effects of supplementing with a structured triglyceride mixture of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), compared to a physical mixture of EPA and MCTs, on endurance performance.

The primary outcome was time to exhaustion. The secondary outcomes included peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak), anaerobic threshold, time to reach the anaerobic threshold, time to exhaustion at 80% of VO2peak, and workload during an endurance test.
