Assessment
Primary outcomes	1. The difference in fatigue measured by VAS (visual analogue scale) before and after workload at 12 weeks after consumption (12w)
Key secondary outcomes	1. The fatigue measured by VAS before workload at 12w 2. The fatigue measured by VAS after workload at 12w 3. The following items of the test of the autonomic nervous system at 12w (before and after workload and the difference of them): LF (low frequency), HF (how frequency), LF/HF ratio, average heart rate, maximum heart rate, minimum heart rate, TP (total power), ccvTP (coefficient of component variance TP), deviation value of autonomic function, and autonomic functional age 4. The d-ROMs (diacron reactive oxygen metabolites), BAP (biological antioxidant potential), d-ROMs/BAP ratio, and BAP/d-ROMs at 12w
