CHICAGO, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at the University of Illinois (UI) found that exercise and nutrition regimen can improve physical and cognitive function of people, with added gains among those who regularly consume the nutritional beverage.
The researchers studied the effects of a 12-week exercise regimen on 148 active-duty Air Force airmen, half of whom also received a twice-daily nutrient beverage that included protein; the omega-3 fatty acid, DHA; lutein; phospholipids; vitamin D; B vitamins and other micronutrients; along with a muscle-promoting compound known as HMB.
