A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effects of a Herbal Tincture on Energy Levels, Weight Management, and Markers of Metabolic Health

April 22, 2025 updated by: Apothekary
This study will evaluate the effects of the Blue Burn Tincture on energy levels, weight management, and markers of metabolic health. It is a single-arm, hybrid trial involving 40 participants over a 12-week period. Participants will use the product daily, complete scheduled questionnaires, attend blood tests at Labcorp (Baseline and Week 12), and provide body mass measurements. Primary outcomes include changes in cortisol levels, energy levels, and body mass.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

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

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.

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.

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
Change in cortisol levels
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
Measured via morning blood draws at Baseline and Week 12 to assess the physiological impact of the tincture on stress hormone regulation.
Baseline and Week 12
Change in body mass
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
Self-reported daily body mass measurements for 3 days at Baseline and Week 12; mean values will be calculated to determine any weight changes.
Baseline and Week 12
Change in self-reported energy levels
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12
Participants will complete validated questionnaires evaluating energy at multiple time points to assess perceived improvements in fatigue and vitality.
Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in perceived workout performance and health metrics
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12
Questionnaires will assess participant perceptions of workout performance, stamina, exercise recovery, weight management, fitness, and overall health.
