Average baseline skin temperature measures prior to supplementation. Statistical testing (one-way ANOVA, Welch’s correction) indicates no significant difference (p value > 0.05) in base line conditions prior to interventions. Values are means ± SD (n = 8 per intervention). Tscf, supraclavicular temperature; Tcore, core temperature; Tref, manubrium temperature.
