简要总结
This study examines the development and efficacy of a health supplement derived from ginger using water extraction. Designed to address aging-related issues such as muscle loss (sarcopenia) and cognitive decline, the capsule's safety and effectiveness were evaluated through clinical trials. Stability testing ensured the capsules maintained their quality under various environmental conditions. Clinical trials further assessed the supplement's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The findings support its potential benefits for elderly health and aging-related challenges.

结局指标
主要结局
Muscle mass
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation
Appendicular lean mass in kilograms, kg will be measured using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, (DEXA)
Fat mass
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation
Fat mass in gram, g will be measured using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, (DEXA)
Bone mineral content (BMC)
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation
Bone mineral content in gram, g will be measured using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, (DEXA)
Gait speed test
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation
Gait speed will be measured in meters per second (m/s). Participants will complete three walking trials, with each trial timed over a 6-meter distance to record gait speed in seconds.
Handgrip strength
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation
Evaluation of hand grip strength will be conducted using a dynamometer. Participants will be instructed to grip the dynamometer. The values will be recorded in kilograms (kg)
Cognitive function
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation
The assessment instrument, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test will be administered. The evaluation involves assessing participants through questions and instructions covering executive and spatial cognitive domains. The maximum score is 30. A score of 26 and above indicates no cognitive impairment.
Recall memory function
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation
The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) will be utilized. The RAVLT includes two distinct word lists (A and B). Participants will recall the items from list A over five trials (Memory A1 to A5). Following this, an interference list (list B), comprising 15 unrelated nouns, will be introduced, and participants will attempt to recall as many words as possible from it. Subsequently, participants will be asked to recall the words from list A (Delayed recall/Memory A6) without the examiner repeating the list. The number of correctly recalled words for each trial will be totaled to generate a score. Total Learning Score (Sum of Trials A1-A5) to indicate normal performance: 45-65, Mild Cognitive Impairment: 30-45, dementia: below 30. For delayed recall score (M6), to indicate normal performance: ≥8-12 words recalled, Mild Cognitive Impairment: 4-7 words recalled, and dementia: ≤3 words recalled.
Working memory function
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation
The Digit Span Test involves recalling numbers in the same order (forward), reverse order (backward), or ascending order (sequencing). The test starts with short sequences and increases in length to assess memory capacity. A higher score (20 - 30) indicates better cognitive function, while a lower score (0 - 19) may suggest attention or memory issues. The total score is 30.
次要结局
- Blood pressure(Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation)
- C-Reactive protein (CRP)(Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation)
- Untargeted metabolomics for metabolite identification(Baseline and 24 weeks after supplementation)
