What is the research behind recovery?

At DNAFit, we have a strict inclusion protocol to evaluate whether a gene will be included in our reports. Each gene must have a minimum of 3-peer reviewed studies in humans demonstrating the effect, there must be a consensus on that effect, and that effect must be modifiable through an environmental and lifestyle change.

Below is a sample of our evidence base forrecovery:

IL6 (-174) and TNFA (-308) promoter polymorphisms are associated with systemic creatine kinase response to eccentric exercise. 

A dietary supplement attenuates IL-6 and CRP after eccentric exercise in untrained males. 

Genetic variation and exercise-induced muscle damage: implications for athletic performance, injury and ageing.
