Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the effects of a botanical blend supplement on muscle strength during resistance training: Changes in bench press and leg extension repetitions at 80% of 1-RM of baseline, compared with placebo.Timepoint: Day 0 (Baseline), Day 14, Day 28, Day 56

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To determine the effects of a botanical blend supplement on muscle endurance during resistance training: Changes in bench press and leg extension repetitions at 80% of 1-RM of baseline, compared with placebo. 2.Safety and efficacy assessment through laboratory analysis of hematological,biochemistry and urine analysis such as Complete Blood Profile, Lipid Profile,Liver Function Test,Kidney Function Test and Serum Testosterone levels.Timepoint: Screening, Day 0 (Baseline; only for Serum Testosterone levels), Day 56
