NCT ID NCT07219186

Summary

This small, early-stage study is checking if a specially prepared, safer version of the traditional kava plant supplement can help improve walking ability, strength, and sleep quality in adults over 70 who have trouble sleeping and are not very active. Researchers will give 40 participants either the kava supplement or a placebo pill daily for 8 weeks and measure changes in their physical function, sleep, and stress levels. The main goal is to see if this natural supplement is safe and shows any promise for helping with common challenges of aging.
