Natural supplement luteolin tested for edge in sports performance
NCT ID NCT07280520
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether taking a daily luteolin supplement for 12 weeks can improve how muscle and fat cells work, and whether it boosts physical performance and body composition in healthy male athletes aged 18-35. Fifty athletes will receive either luteolin or a placebo, and researchers will measure changes in gene activity, oxygen use, power, and body fat and muscle. The goal is to see if this natural compound can help athletes perform better and build a leaner body.
