DOMS, or delayed onset muscle soreness, is the ache that shows up 24 to 48 hours after a hard session. It is part of how your body adapts to training, and what separates a good week from a bad one is not avoiding it but recovering well from it.<\/p>\n
That soreness that turns a flight of stairs into a workout of its own has a name: DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). It sets in a day or two after training, peaks somewhere around the 48-hour mark, and then fades.<\/p>\n
DOMS is a normal part of how your body adapts to training. Efficient recovery, though, is what lets you come back to the next session feeling good, hold your performance and keep the impact of hard training out of the rest of your day.<\/p>\n
At Sports ProResolve<\/strong>, we approach recovery from a different angle: supporting the active resolution of inflammation<\/strong>, a biological process the body needs to complete if muscle repair is going to happen properly.<\/p>\n Here is the part that matters: inflammation is necessary<\/strong>, but it has to resolve properly.<\/p>\n When the body completes that resolution phase, muscle tissue can repair more efficiently and get ready for the next training stimulus.<\/p>\n That is exactly where Specialised Pro-resolving Mediators (SPM)<\/strong> come in.<\/p>\n Most nutritional strategies for sports recovery focus on protein, antioxidants or omega-3. Sports ProResolve goes a step further.<\/p>\n Its key ingredient, Lipinova®<\/sup> SPM<\/strong>, supplies SPM and their direct precursors<\/strong>: bioactive molecules involved in the natural process by which the body brings inflammation to a close once it has done its job.<\/p>\n Rather than trying to block the inflammatory response, which may interfere with training adaptations, the approach works with your biology<\/strong>, helping the resolution process run its course.<\/p>\n Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are needed to produce SPM, but that conversion is a complex, tightly regulated biological process<\/strong>: it depends on multiple enzymes and it is not equally efficient in everyone. It is like having the ingredients in the cupboard and still ending up without the finished dish. We cover how omega-3 and SPM differ<\/a> in more detail in a separate article.<\/p>\n Lipinova®<\/sup> SPM is a patented marine-derived SPM ingredient developed by Solutex GC in collaboration with Dr Charles N. Serhan, who discovered the Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators. It supplies the immediate precursors of SPM (18-HEPE, 17-HDHA and 14-HDHA) directly, making these molecules available without relying on that conversion step.<\/p>\n This difference has been studied in clinical trials. A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in Circulation Research<\/em> found that supplementation with Lipinova®<\/sup> SPM produced a measurable increase in circulating SPM levels, alongside shifts in the immune response profile towards resolution (Souza et al., 2020).<\/p>\n It is also the only SPM ingredient with pre-clinical and human clinical studies published in peer-reviewed journals.<\/p>\n Every hard session creates hundreds of small muscle injuries. Making progress is not just about training: you also have to recover.<\/p>\n When the natural resolution of inflammation is supported, the body has the molecules involved in that final stage available, the one that opens the door to tissue repair and adaptation to the training load.<\/p>\n The point of Sports ProResolve is not to make DOMS disappear overnight. It is something more useful than that: helping the body complete the natural recovery process that starts after every session.<\/p>\n Because when the body resolves inflammation properly, it is also better placed to repair muscle tissue, adapt to the load and keep progressing.<\/p>\n With Lipinova®<\/sup> SPM, Sports ProResolve offers an approach grounded in the science of active inflammation resolution, supporting the body where recovery actually begins.<\/p>\n Sports ProResolve is not a painkiller that takes the ache away on the spot. It works by supporting a physiological process that happens after every session.<\/p>\n That means the benefit builds with continued use, giving the body a steady supply of Lipinova®<\/sup> SPM to support the active resolution of inflammation session after session.<\/p>\n It is built for people who train regularly and understand that recovery is part of performance, not something that comes after it.<\/p>\n If you compete under anti-doping control, always check the product certification. And if you take medication regularly, speak to your doctor or pharmacist first.<\/p>\n\nDOMS is not the enemy: it is part of recovery<\/h2>\n
