Data were collected after 7 days intake of either NZBC extract or placebo during 10-min cycling bouts, and 2 h post-prandial after a low-calorie breakfast (1 slice of bread and the last capsules). CH_ox, carbohydrate oxidation; FAT_ox, fat oxidation. Data reported as mean ± SD from 11 participants.
