Deep oceans have been suggested as a possible site where the origin of life occurred. Along with this theoretical lineage, experiments using components from deep ocean water to recreate life is underway. Here, we propose that if terrestrial organisms indeed evolved from deep oceans, supply of deep ocean mineral water (DOM) to humans, as a land creature, may replenish loss of molecular complexity associated with evolutionary sea-to-land migration.
We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover human study to evaluate the effect of DOM, taken from a depth of 662 meters off the coast of Hualien, Taiwan, on time of recovery from a fatiguing exercise conducted at 30°C.
The fatiguing exercise protocol caused a protracted reduction in aerobic power (reduced VO2max) for 48 h. However, DOM supplementation resulted in complete recovery of aerobic power within 4 h (P < 0.05). Muscle power was also elevated above placebo levels within 24 h of recovery (P < 0.05). Increased circulating creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin, indicatives of exercise-induced muscle damage, were completely eliminated by DOM (P < 0.05) in parallel with attenuated oxidative damage (P < 0.05).
Our results provide compelling evidence that DOM contains soluble elements, which can increase human recovery following an exhaustive physical challenge.
深海被认为是生命起源的可能地点。随着这一理论的发展，使用来自深海海水的成分来重现生命的实验正在进行中。在这里，我们提出，如果陆地生物确实是从深海进化而来的，那么作为陆地生物的人类补充深海矿泉水（DOM），可能会补充与从海洋到陆地的进化迁移相关的分子复杂性的丧失。
我们进行了一项随机、双盲、安慰剂对照的交叉人体研究，以评估来自台湾花莲海岸 662 米深处的 DOM 对在 30°C 下进行的疲劳运动后恢复时间的影响。
疲劳运动方案导致有氧能力（降低的最大摄氧量）持续减少 48 小时。然而，DOM 补充剂在 4 小时内完全恢复了有氧能力（P<0.05）。肌肉力量也在恢复后 24 小时内高于安慰剂水平（P<0.05）。DOM 完全消除了运动引起的肌肉损伤的循环肌酸激酶（CK）和肌红蛋白的升高（P<0.05），同时减轻了氧化损伤（P<0.05）。
我们的结果提供了令人信服的证据，表明 DOM 含有可溶性元素，可以增加人类在剧烈身体挑战后的恢复能力。
