Summary

This study tests whether taking lemongrass extract daily for 6 weeks, alongside high-intensity interval training, improves aerobic fitness and sexual wellbeing in men aged 40-60. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either lemongrass or a placebo. Researchers will measure changes in oxygen use, blood lactate, heart rate, and sexual function through questionnaires.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: lemongrass extract
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement to enhance exercise benefits and sexual wellbeing in middle-aged men.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplement may show no benefit over placebo.
