  • Science Inside: Ahn, Yejin, et al. “Effects of gypenoside L-containing Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract on fatigue and physical performance: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial.” (2023)
  • Study Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
  • Subjects: 98 healthy adult men and women
  • Intervention: 450mg of ActivAMP daily (450mg/day)
  • Study Duration: 12 weeks

When compared to placebo, there was significant improvement in:

  • 1.10 ml/kg/min (p=0.001)
  • Trend towards for significance* for:
  • O2 pulse (oxygen consumes per heartbeat)
  • Market related to endothelial function
