Performance

Due to the importance of a balanced diet and appropriate nutrition for athletic performance, herbal dietary supplements have become popular among professional and amateur athletes. Athletes frequently consume them to raise their performance during competitions. In the current study, combat athletes used Ashwagandha and Khejri as supplements to assess the changes in macronutrient levels and energy levels before and after supplementation. Supplementation with each herb and in combination was given in different groups in 500 mg doses daily with an intervention period of 21 days. Macronutrient and energy levels were evaluated before and after the intervention period. Subjects were divided into four groups: i) Group 1: Both supplement training group, ii) Group 2: Single supplement training group iii) Group 3: Both supplement non-training group, iv) Group 4: Single supplement non-training group. All groups showed significant enhancements in macronutrient and energy levels after 21 days of supplementation, ultimately enhancing their athletic performance. Supplementation with Ashwagandha and Khejri resulted in enhanced energy levels and macronutrients level such as carbohydrates, protein, and fat after 21 days of the intervention period in combat athletes.
