First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a natural supplement called RhizomK, made from a plant extract, can raise testosterone levels and improve the body's response to exercise in healthy, physically active men aged 21 to 40. Sixty participants will take either RhizomK or a placebo daily, then do a leg press workout. Researchers will measure testosterone and cortisol before and after exercise, along with quality of life. The goal is to see if this supplement offers a safe, natural way to support hormone balance and fitness.
