Fatigue of 8 healthy men assigned to MSM. Blue Open Circle = 1.5 grams/day; Red Filled Circle = 3.0 grams/day. Data are presented as change from baseline (Δ from BL) on y-axis; Visit 2 is pre intervention (prior to MSM supplementation), Visit 3 is post intervention (following MSM supplementation); Visit 1 included the screening visit. Note: All subjects experienced an increase in fatigue that trended towards significance two hours post-exercise at Visit 2 (pre intervention; p=0.084), whereas there was no trend at Visit 3 (post intervention; p=0.181); At Visit 2, subjects’ fatigue scores increased between two and 48 hours post-exercise, but not significantly (p=0.47), whereas at Visit 3, subjects fatigue scores decreased between two and 48 hours post-exercise, but not significantly (p=0.336); the difference in these changes between Visits 2 and 3 trended toward statistical significance (for the 3.0 grams/day group [p=0.073] and for all subjects [p=0.087]).
