Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the current study was to check the physiological improvement of SWT on liver and skin and also the antioxidation in healthy adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: Si-Wu-Tang (SWT) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and widely used for treating various gynecological disorders. The purpose of the current study was to check the physiological improvement of SWT on liver and skin and also the antioxidation in healthy adults.

Methods: Sixty healthy voluntary subjects were recruited and assigned into two groups, who drank 125 mL of placebo (n=30) or SWT (n=30) for 6 continuous days per month during the following 6 months and vice versa with one month of washout period in between. During the initial, 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 13th months anthropometric measurements were performed as well as fasting blood samples were drawn for various biochemical assays. Abdominal ultrasonic and skin examination were performed at the initial, 6th and 13th months.
