Brief Summary

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

The investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of Fermented Prunus Mume Vinega on Improvement of Fatigue in adults for 8 weeks.

Detailed Description

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

Previous studies have indicated that Fermented Prunus Mume Vinega may have the ability to improve fatigue. Therefore, the investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of tFermented Prunus Mume Vinega on Improvement of Fatigue in adults; the safety of the compound are also evaluate. The Investigators examine fatigue severity scale, lactate, creatinine kinase, urinary malondialdehyde at baseline, as well as after 4 and 8 weeks of intervention. Sixty adults were administered either 600 mg of Fermented Prunus Mume Vinega or a placebo each day for 8 weeks;
