Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

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;
