简要总结
Sixty healthy male or female subjects of age 18-60 will be assigned in 1:1 ratio to treatment with the test product, KSM-6 Ashwagandha capsules or Placebo in this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. All 60 enrolled subjects will be instructed to take two capsules of either KSM-66 Ashwagandha or Placebo twice a day one capsule after breakfast and one capsule after dinner for 56 days daily. Subjects will be required to use diaries to document the date, time and dosage of study treatments including any missed doses and the occurrence of any adverse events. The efficacy of investigational product will be assessed primarily with immune biomarkers in blood and secondarily with administration of immune health questionnaire, SF 12, PSS 10 and PGATT.
