Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Nutrition supplementation	Blinded researchers will provide the randomly assigned supplement product to the trial participants for a period of 90 days. Used packaging will be collected at the end of every week from each trial participant to monitor compliance.
OTHER	Exercise	Trained researchers will facilitate resistance-based exercises two to three times a week in an enclosed venue (gym). Trial participants will be assessed at baseline for one repetition maximum (1RM) which will serve as a basis for load progression. A target of 3 sets and 6-15 repetitions with at least 30 seconds rest in between sets will be performed by the trial participants under supervision of a trained researcher.
