Summary

Given that testosterone is a key modulator of muscle protein synthesis and overall anabolic response to resistance training, any natural intervention that boosts testosterone levels could logically contribute to improved exercise performance, lean muscle gain, and subjective vitality. 13 However, despite encouraging preclinical and ethnopharmacological data, clinical validation of Curculigo extract in human participants-especially in the context of exercise and lifestyle enhancement-is lacking. A novel extract of Curculigo orchioides (commercially known as RhizomK) has been developed. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study seeks to bridge this crucial gap by evaluating the efficacy and safety of RhizomK supplementation in healthy, physically active males. The findings of this study have the potential to substantiate RhizomK as a scientifically supported dietary intervention for enhancing hormonal balance, physical performance, and well-being in men who are not candidates for pharmacological therapy but are seeking to optimize their health through lifestyle and supplementation.
