Herbal remedy put to the test for sore muscles

NCT ID NCT06900569

Summary

This study tested whether taking an ashwagandha herbal supplement for 10 days could help people recover faster from hard exercise. Researchers gave 19 healthy adults either ashwagandha or a placebo pill, then had them do a tough arm workout. They measured muscle strength, soreness, and swelling for three days afterward to see if the supplement made recovery easier.
