The disclosure also describes a method of preparing the formulation by encapsulation of the natural ingredients in a natural matrix.
- Physical endurance is a state of health and more precisely provides the foundation for performing the activities of daily living and protection against disease conditions and is the basic criteria for participation in sports.
- Physical strength or endurance is of utmost importance for athletes as it helps in optimizing performance in a certain sport. Each sport requires strength for optimal performance, without which it is not possible to perform on the field continuously. Physical fitness and skill are equally important traits that an athlete requires and therefore an athlete has to work constantly towards developing both at the same time.
- There are various chemicals in the body, which are responsible for fitness such as nitric oxide (NO), Erythropoietin (EPO), Monoamine oxidase (MAO-B) etc. NO is an endothelium-derived relaxing factor, which functions as a cell-signaling factor in both physiological and pathological process. NO also plays a crucial role because of its vasodilation activity in blood vessels as it helps in maintaining the fluid homeostasis and in regulating the blood pressure. NO in blood is a major contributor in achieving maximum performance during exercise.
- EPO is associated with production of red blood cells and acts as a marker for blood oxygenation and iron availability. MAO-B prevents the breakdown of dopamine. Anti-oxidants also play a crucial role in maintaining the performance of the athletes by preventing breakdown of NO.

The results show that administration of the formulation decreased malondialdehyde level from 14.6 to 9.9 nmol/mL without significant change in placebo group. - The decrease in the oxidative stress markers lactate dehydrogenase and malondialdehyde indicates the reduction of oxidative stress after exercise in response to the administration of the formulation.
-
FIG. 10 illustrates the levels of pre-exercise and post-exercise dopamine in the supplement and placebo group. The results show that administration of the formulation increased the dopamine levels from 225.1 μg/24 h to 354.3 μg/24 h. The increase in post-exercise dopamine levels indicates the improvement of mental health and physical functioning in the supplement group. - The formulation of the invention is effective in increasing the serum and saliva levels of nitrate and nitrite in humans. The formulation also increased the pharmacokinetic parameters. The formulation is useful in improving the physical endurance in athletes.
