Descriptive and probability statistics are presented. The table shows the mean and standard deviation at baseline and week 12, and percent change from baseline for each measurement at week 12. Statistical significance of the comparison of supplement use daily vs. use every 48 hours is presented. A threshold of p ≤ 0.05 was applied in all cases.
