Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of the SCE on muscle strength, muscle mass, and muscle function in healthy adults for 12 weeks.

Description:

Previous studies have indicated that Schisandra chinensis extract (SCE) may have the ability to prevent skeletal muscle atrophy. Therefore, the investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of the SCE on muscle strength, muscle mass, and muscle function in healthy adults; the safety of the compound are also evaluate. The Investigators examine the peak torque/body weight at 60°/s knee extension, handgrip strength, skeletal muscle mass, physical performance, and metabolic parameters at baseline, as well as after 4 and 12 weeks of intervention. Fifty-four healthy adults were administered either 1,000 mg of SCE or a placebo each day for 12 weeks;
