Clinical Trial Summary

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

Description:

A previous study has indicated that Nelutri™ may increase muscle mass and strength. Therefore, the investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of Nelutri™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 6 and 12 weeks of intervention. Eighty adults were administered either 2,000 mg of Nelutri™ or a placebo each day for 12 weeks;
