Summary

This study looks at whether a plant-based supplement (sarmentosin and L-theanine) combined with home strength training can improve mood, sleep, and muscle health in women going through perimenopause. 72 women aged 40-55 will be split into four groups: supplement plus exercise, supplement only, placebo plus exercise, or placebo only. They will take capsules daily and some will do resistance exercises three times a week for 12 weeks, with regular check-ups on symptoms and cognition.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Sarmentosin and L-theanine supplement
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-hormonal option to help manage perimenopausal symptoms and maintain muscle strength.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with 72 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplement is new and its long-term effects are unknown.
