- iii) about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of the composition of one or more saponins;
- and iv) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for use in improving and/or maintaining muscle strength and/or isometric and isokinetic function in a subject and/or relieving, treating, and/or decreasing muscle soreness in a healthy subject during and/or after exercise, wherein the composition provides curcuminoids in an amount of from about 50 mg/dose to about 300 mg/dose.
A medicament comprising a composition comprising i) curcuminoids;
- ii) from about 30% to about 85% by weight of the composition of acacia gum;
- iii) about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of the composition of one or more saponin(s);

A composition comprising i) curcuminoids;
- ii) from about 30% to about 85% by weight of the composition of acacia gum;
- iii) about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of the composition of one or more saponins;
- and iv) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for use in reducing muscle damage by decreasing the levels of creatine kinase (CK) in a subject during and/or after exercise or in preventing the muscle damage by preventing the increase of the levels of creatine kinase (CK) in a subject during and/or after exercise, wherein the composition provides curcuminoids in an amount of from about 50 mg/dose to about 300 mg/dose.
