ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of an herbal supplement called Ashwagandha on muscle recovery after exercise. Researchers want to find out if taking Ashwagandha for a short period of time can help improve muscle strength, reduce swelling, and lessen soreness in the biceps after working out. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 18 to 35, regardless of gender, who are in generally good health and do not have certain conditions that might be affected by exercise.

If you join this study, you will take Ashwagandha for about 8 to 12 weeks while participating in exercise routines. The researchers will monitor your muscle recovery to see if the supplement helps you feel better after workouts. It's important to note that people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have specific allergies to certain ingredients will not be able to participate. This trial could provide valuable insights into how Ashwagandha might help with muscle recovery for active individuals.
