Abstract

The goal of this study was to investigate the Magnum OPUS supplement in terms of its ability to enhance athletic performance and possess a tolerable safety profile.  Two groups (placebo and experimental) performed a series of exercises (pushups, dips, squats, lunges) with each repetition being recorded and compared to the baseline.  Upon completion of four sessions by all twenty participants, the results were scored and significant differences were noted (t(18)= -5.41, p < 0.001, 95% CI [-24.25, -10.68]).  In addition, participants recorded all adverse effects experienced with the use of the supplement.  It was concluded that the participants taking OPUS had a significant increase in athletic performance when compared against the placebo group.  OPUS was shown to be a reasonably safe supplement that may help athletes with their training and other athletic activities.
