New Medical Food Provides Significant Improvements in Fatigue for ME/CFS Patients in RCT

SAN DIEGO, CA  — Terra Biological is pleased to share the results of a landmark clinical trial on Oxaloacetate CFS for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), conducted by the Bateman Horne Center and recently peer-reviewed and published by Frontiers in Neurology.

The 2024 randomized, controlled clinical trial demonstrated that three months of daily Oxaloacetate CFS supplementation resulted in:

  • A significant reduction in fatigue by an average of 25 to 35%

  • Improvements in both mental and physical fatigue

  • 40.5% of the oxaloacetate group classified as "enhanced responders," with an average fatigue reduction of 63%

The Frontiers in Neurology-published study, an 82-person randomized clinical trial (RCT), was conducted at the Bateman Horne Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, a non-profit Center of Excellence dedicated to improving lives affected by ME/CFS and related conditions. The double-blinded trial evaluated the effects of “Oxaloacetate CFS” (500 mg anhydrous enol-oxaloacetate capsules) with participants taking two capsules at breakfast and two capsules at lunch each day for three months.

As one of the most cited open-access clinical neurology journals, Frontiers in Neurology boasts an Impact Factor of 3.552, underscoring the significance of these findings. The study confirms that Oxaloacetate CFS effectively reduces fatigue in ME/CFS patients, with benefits sustained throughout the study duration.

Moreover, a subgroup of 40.5% of participants demonstrated even greater benefits, with an average fatigue reduction of 63%, suggesting that oxaloacetate may be a critical intervention for this specific patient population. Ongoing metabolomic analyses aim to uncover the underlying biological mechanisms driving this response.

“These clinical findings mark a significant step forward in ME/CFS research,” said Alan Cash, Chief Science Officer at Terra Biological. “We are encouraged by the potential of Oxaloacetate CFS to provide meaningful relief for those struggling with chronic fatigue.”
