简要总结
The present study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blinded study to evaluate efficacy of EB-PA as protein amplifier for skeletal muscle strength & growth in males with active lifestyle. Approximately 160 subjects aged between ≥ 20 and ≤ 35 years will be screened and 138 participants are to be randomized. Both the IP and placebo study arms will have at least 40 completed subjects after accounting for the screening failure and dropout/withdrawal rate of 14% and 13 % respectively (Total 120 completers). The treatment duration for all the study subjects will be 30 days. The sustained effect of the product will be observed for next 7 days, wherein, the subjects will be abstaining from the protein and IP supplementation and will exercise at their ease.

- •Body mass index (BMI) 22 - 29.9 kg/ m
- •Individuals with a 1-RM strength defined by Upper Body ≥ 25 Kgs and Lower Body ≥ 100 Kgs will be included in the study.
- •Ready to refrain from caffeinated products and intense strength/ endurance exercise for 24 hrs prior to the exercise lab visit.

结局指标
主要结局
To assess improvement in muscle strength after administration of Investigational Product (IP) as assessed by increase in lower body 1 RM (repetition maximum) weight from baseline.
时间窗: Day 30
The maximum weight that can be lifted once with the correct lifting technique is known as the 1-RM. The 1-RM will be determined by the Brzycki equation using calculator as follows: Weight ÷ \[1.0278 - (0.0278 × Number of repetitions)\].

次要结局
- To assess the effect of Investigational Product (IP) on Increase in muscle endurance as assessed by increase in exercise volume calculated as load x number of repetition (upper + lower body exercise) completed at ≥70% of screening 1-RM.(Day 0 to Day 30)
- To assess the effect of IP on improvement in grip strength as indicated by increase in non-dominant hand grip strength.(Day 0 to Day 30)
- To assess the effect of IP on Improvement in metabolic health as indicated by waist to height ratio.(Day 0 to Day 30)
- To assess the effect of Investigational Product (IP) on Increase in muscle (hamstring) flexibility as assessed by increase in distance for V sit & reach test.(Day 0 to Day 30)
- To assess the effect of IP on improvement in muscle mass as indicated by increase in fat free mass (FFM), lean muscle mass and android fat by DXA.(Day 0 to Day 30)
- To assess the sustained effect of IP on muscle strength as assessed by Maintenance of lower body 1 RM weight(Day 30 To 37)
- To assess the sustained effect of IP on muscle strength as assessed by Maintenance of upper body 1RM weight(Day 30 To 37)
