Results from studies demonstrate that performance in various sports activities can be enhanced by ingesting SMBI consumer milk products or by consuming foods or nutritional supplements formulated with SMBI ingredients. SMBI milk technologies have also been shown to reduce the aches and pains often experienced by athletes in a wide variety of sports activities.
As part of its extensive scientific research, SMBI conducted a 6 month double-blind clinical study in 18 elite, long distance runners. The runners were unaware if they were consuming Stolle Original Immune Milk or "control" milk and kept track of their training success and performance over the 6 month period. Competitive time trials were conducted several times during the study, at which time blood samples were taken to track creatine kinase, a serum enzyme that measures muscle damage.
Review of the data at the end of the study showed that average recovery time (days between training or racing) was reduced by 50% in the Stolle milk group as compared to only 25% in the control group. The improved recovery time was verified by laboratory results showing a highly significant improvement in muscle recovery time (as measured by serum creatine kinase) in the Stolle milk group but not the control milk group. In addition, percentage of body fat decreased 0.7% in the Stolle milk runners during the 6-month period and only 0.2% in the control group.
