Brief Summary

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

The Purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of LN18178 in improving muscle strength, aerobic capacity and body composition in healthy young males.

Detailed Description

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

A total of 120 male subjects aged between 36 and 50 years will be included in the study. Assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria will be done based on clinical and laboratory investigations. The eligible subjects will be randomized as per the computer-generated randomization list. The subjects will be assigned to either LN18178:400 mg or Placebo at 1:1 ratio. The subjects will be instructed to take one capsule daily in the morning after breakfast with water for 12 weeks. Apart from primary and secondary outcomes, the study will also record the vital signs and adverse events to evaluate the herbal composition safety and tolerability. The safety assessment of the LN18178 will also include routine laboratory investigations on blood, urine and clinical chemistry at screening and the final visit of the intervention.
