“WBC may decrease symptoms related to exercise induced muscledamage produced by mechanical stress if immediately applied after exercise.” In a nutshell, muscle damage occurs after sarcomeres, the most basic unit of a muscle, are “popped” after eccentric contraction. Then, white blood cells or leukocytes, are moved to the damaged muscle tissue via soluble intercellar adhesion molecule 1 (aICAM-1). This starts a chemical process that leads to amplified muscle damage.
The authors hypothesize that the thermoregulatory response, which is the body increasing blood flow and warming itself up afterwards, may help recovery from exercise by decreasing the amount of sICAM-1 in the body. Basically, WBC allows for fewer white blood cells to enter damaged muscle tissue, resulting in less inflammation and other post-workout effects.
“WBC assists with all workout regimens, anytime an individual is putting their body through intense workouts with strain and exertion of any kind,” Buscmea says. “We have seen everyone from NFL, MLB, NBA, UFC/MMA, Boxing, High School, Collegiate, and former athletes that have competed at different levels still staying active and in shape at our facility.”
