New Human Study Strengthens Oligonol's Position in Sports Nutrition|August 11, 2026

New Research

A newly published randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel trial evaluated 34 recreational long-distance runners (45–64 years) who supplemented with 200 mg/day of Oligonol® for 60 days. Researchers reported that participants receiving Oligonol® experienced:

• Significantly greater running distance during a 12-minute endurance test
• Approximately 229.7 additional feet (70 meters) covered compared to placebo
• A two-point reduction in Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), indicating lower perceived intensity despite improved performance
• Improved endurance performance without stimulants or changes in body composition

The investigators concluded that Oligonol® supplementation improved endurance performance while reducing perceived exertion, reinforcing its value for physically active adults.

This new publication builds upon Oligonol®'s already extensive clinical portfolio demonstrating support for:

• Exercise recovery
• Healthy inflammatory response
• Nitric oxide production and circulation
• Reduced exercise-induced oxidative stress
• High-intensity exercise performance
• Muscle endurance and active aging
• Metabolic support

The Opportunity

Consumers no longer define sports nutrition by performance alone. They are seeking products that help them train harder, recover faster, and remain active throughout life. This shift is creating demand for clinically substantiated ingredients that bridge sports performance, recovery, active aging, and overall wellness, allowing brands to reach a much broader audience than competitive athletes alone.

Why Oligonol®?

For nearly two decades, Oligonol® has remained one of the industry's most respected branded polyphenol ingredients, earning multiple innovation awards and establishing a reputation for exceptional bioavailability and scientific credibility. Rather than relying on its legacy, Oligonol® continues to expand its value through ongoing clinical research that uncovers new applications and strengthens existing ones.

Each published study reinforces Oligonol's position as an ingredient that continues to evolve alongside the market, giving formulators fresh opportunities to innovate across sports nutrition, recovery, cardiovascular health, metabolic wellness, and active aging.
