Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the effects of the ProstaThrive™ supplement on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men. It is a 90-day virtual, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with 80 male participants aged 40 and above. The primary endpoint is the reduction in LUTS, while secondary endpoints include changes in sexual function and performance.
Detailed description
This is a virtual two-arm randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial lasting 90 days. Participants will take the ProstaThrive™ supplement or a placebo daily and complete questionnaires at Baseline, Day 30, Day 60, and Day 90.
