NCT ID NCT05592093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether Korean red ginseng capsules can reduce oxidative stress in 900 healthy middle-aged and older adults (40–75 years old). Participants took either the ginseng or a placebo for 12 weeks. The main goal was to see changes in a blood marker called MDA, which is linked to cell damage and aging.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Korean red ginseng capsule
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement to help reduce oxidative stress and support healthy aging in middle-aged and older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a completed Phase 2/3 trial, but it only measured blood markers (like MDA) rather than actual health outcomes. The effect may be small or not translate to real-world benefits.
