This study is to evaluate the effect and tolerance of a thymol containing dietary supplement, Musclin, in healthy adults.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study will be an open label, uncontrolled, ascending dose clinical trial to assess the tolerance and effect of orally ingested Musclin, 20 mg thymol per capsule, in healthy adult subjects. In addition, this study will evaluate whether Musclin has an effect on creatine kinase and myostatin levels. The study will aim to enroll 20 consenting men and women. Consented subjects will ingest 2 capsules of Musclin daily for 30 days and increase to 4 capsules daily for an additional 30 days . Physical assessments and biological samples will be collected at baseline (day 0) and at end of treatment (d 60). Surveys to include reported stamina and energy levels will be collected at baseline, prior to increased dosage (d 30) and end of treatment period. Risk to participants is expected to be minimal and will be outlined through an informed consent.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants with adverse events as a measure of tolerance
Time Frame: Day 60 (End of Study)
Day 60 (End of Study)
Change in creatinine kinase
Time Frame: Day 1(Baseline) to Day 60 (End of Study)
Change in creatinine kinase measured in U/L
Day 1(Baseline) to Day 60 (End of Study)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
