Pearl Millet-A Forgotten Ancient Grain with Emerging Immunomodulatory Potential in Sports Nutrition.
PubMed · 2026-05-16
Pearl millet, an ancient grain long overlooked in Western diets, contains a rich mix of fiber, polyphenols, and minerals that may help athletes recover faster by reducing inflammation and supporting immune function.
1
Pearl millet contains fiber, polyphenols, flavonoids, bioactive peptides, and minerals (iron, magnesium, zinc) plus B-vitamins that collectively produce antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
2
Cell and animal studies show millet consumption can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6, which are key drivers of exercise-induced inflammation.
3
Emerging human studies suggest millet-based diets lower oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation, both directly relevant to athletic recovery.
