Study Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of the test products on the locomotor system in healthy Japanese adults with low muscle mass and knee joint discomfort. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Does the daily consumption of the test product improve subjective knee symptoms, quality of life (QOL), and physical function?

Participants will be asked to:

  • Take 3 capsules of the test product daily for 12 weeks.
  • Complete questionnaires regarding subjective knee symptoms and QOL.
  • Undergo bilateral X-ray imaging.
  • Undergo assessment of lower limb extension strength.
  • Perform the stand-up test to evaluate lower limb muscle endurance.
  • Perform the 10-meter walk test to evaluate walking ability.
  • Undergo anthropometric and physical measurements. Researchers will compare Test Product 1, Test Product 2, and Test Product 3, against a placebo group to see if consumption of the study products improves knee symptoms, QOL, and physical function.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Knee pain intensity evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12

Knee pain intensity will be assessed using the VAS component of the Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure (JKOM). The VAS scores range from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (worst possible pain), with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Total score based on the JKOM(Baseline, Week 1, and Week 12)
  • Knee pain and stiffness subscale score based on the JKOM(Baseline, Week 1, and Week 12)
  • Condition of daily life subscale score based on the JKOM(Baseline, Week 1, and Week 12)
  • General activity subscale score based on the JKOM(Baseline, Week 1, and Week 12)
  • Health conditions subscale score based on the JKOM(Baseline, Week 1, and Week 12)
  • Number of participants showing an improvement of >= 1 grade in the JKOM questionnaire items(Week 1 and Week 12)
  • Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) level(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Walking parameters evaluated by 10 m walk test(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Lower limb muscle strength parameters evaluated by LocomoScan G(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Number of stand-ups in the 30-second sit-to-stand test(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Body composition parameters(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Body composition parameters (body height)(Baseline)
  • Body composition parameters (body mass index (BMI))(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Changes from baseline in body composition parameters(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Percentage changes from baseline in body composition parameters(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Individuals who experienced adverse events(Intervention period)
  • Individuals whose values of urinalysis and peripheral blood test are outside the reference range after intervention despite within the reference range at baseline(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Systolic and diastolic blood pressure(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Parameters evaluated by urinalysis(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Parameters evaluated by peripheral blood tests(Baseline and Week 12)
