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 lead to

If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement to enhance exercise benefits and sexual wellbeing in middle-aged men.
