Improved Exercise-Onset Vasodilator Kinetics

High evidence
Adults

Analysis of variance showed no difference in the amplitude of ΔFVC between CIT and placebo (p = .45) ... Additionally, τΔFVC was not different (p = .35) between CIT and placebo in women tested during the follicular (6 ± 3 versus 5 ± 3 duty cycles) or luteal phase (9 ± 1 versus 8 ± 1 duty cycles)

Effect: Neutral
Effect size: Small
Significant: No
Dose: 6 g/day
