View on ClinicalTrials.gov
Updated Dec 15, 2025
Brief Summary
Background: This investigation aims to explore efficacy of Taiwanese whole grain job's tear on muscle health and blood glucose and lipid levels in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: An open-label, 16-week, randomized controlled, cross-over trial involving participants with subject complaint of slower gait or weakness or fall in last year were recruited. The intervention group consumed Taiwanese whole grain job's tear (red job's tear) or white job's tear. Assessments included laboratory tests, functional assessments, and body composition.
