Brief summary: This is a double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial to evaluate the effect of Maolactin FMR supplementation on post exercise inflammation, exercise recovery and muscle fatigue and pain in an otherwise healthy population of adults 18-65 years old over 10 weeks with 8 weeks of supplementation.

This is PART A of the study.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Adults 18-65 years old
* Generally healthy
* BMI 19.0 - 29.9 kg/m2
* Able to provide informed consent
* Generally active, low to moderately trained (with a minimum of 1 resistance exercise sessions per week)
* Agree not to change current diet and/or exercise frequency or intensity during study period
* Agree to not participate in another clinical trial while enrolled in this trial

Exclusion Criteria:

* Undertaking high intensity exercise training and or undertaking more than 3 days of resistance training per week.
* Serious illness(1) e.g., mood disorders such as depression, anxiety or bipolar disorder, neurological disorders such as MS, kidney disease, liver disease or heart conditions
* Unstable illness(2) e.g., diabetes and thyroid gland dysfunction
* Unstable intake of any medication or supplement(3)
* Acute injuries on reporting area
* Current malignancy (excluding Basal Cell Carcinoma) or chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment for malignancy within the previous 2 years
* Currently taking Coumadin (Warfarin), Heparin, Dalteparin, Enoxaparin or other anticoagulation therapy including low dose aspirin
* Receiving medications known to affect inflammation such as steroids
* Active smokers, nicotine use or drug (prescription or illegal substances) abuse
* Chronic past and/or current alcohol use (\>21 alcoholic drinks per week)
* Pregnant or lactating women
* Allergic to any of the ingredients in active or placebo formula
* Participants who are currently participating in any other clinical trial or who have participated in any other clinical trial during the past 1 month
* Any condition which in the opinion of the investigator makes the participant unsuitable for inclusion

  1. A serious illness is a condition that carries a risk of mortality, negatively impacts quality of life and daily function and/or is burdensome in symptoms and/or treatments.
  2. An unstable illness is any illness that is currently not being treated with a stable dose of medication or is fluctuating in severity.
  3. An unstable intake is any dose that has changed by more than 10% of the previous dose in the past 4-weeks
