Compositions and methods using at least one of oleuropein or a metabolite thereof to treat or prevent muscle fatigue from exercise and/or for resistance to muscle fatigue from exercise

Abstract

A method of preventing or treating muscle fatigue from exercise and/or for resistance to muscle fatigue from exercise, the method including orally administering at least one of oleuropein or metabolite thereof to an individual before, during and/or after the exercise. A unit dosage form contains at least one of oleuropein or metabolite thereof in an amount effective for administration of the unit dosage form before, during and/or after exercise to thereby prevent or treat muscle fatigue from the exercise and/or for resistance to muscle fatigue from exercise. A method of making a composition for preventing or treating muscle fatigue from exercise and/or for resistance to muscle fatigue from exercise, the method including adding an effective amount of at least one of oleuropein or metabolite thereof to at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of protein, carbohydrate, and fat. The exercise is preferably one or more of 1) resistance exercise, 2) anaerobic or repeated sprint-type exercise, or 3) endurance exercise.
