ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a nutritional supplement called Sanghuangporus sanghuang mycelia (SS-MN4) to see if it can help reduce fatigue and improve muscle performance in healthy young men. The trial will involve 60 male participants aged 20 to 35 years who do not exercise regularly. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either SS-MN4 capsules or a placebo (a non-active pill) for 42 days. The goal is to find out if taking this supplement can enhance exercise performance, muscle strength, and reduce signs of fatigue and muscle damage.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be healthy males within the specified age range, non-smokers, and not currently taking any dietary supplements or medications. They should also have normal liver and kidney function and no chronic diseases. Throughout the trial, participants will undergo various tests, including exercise tests and blood and urine samples, to monitor their progress. This research aims to provide evidence for the potential health benefits of this supplement, which could lead to new products that help people manage fatigue and maintain physical performance as they age.
