NCT07643532

A Single-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Intervention Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of "KoreaGinseng F Max" on Blood Circulation Improvement in Adults With Poor Peripheral Blood Flow

Sponsor: Haiphong University of Medicine and Pharmacy

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of a white ginseng extract (KoreaGinseng F Max) for improving blood circulation in adults with poor peripheral blood flow. A total of 100 adults aged 20 to under 65 years with platelet aggregation above 55% will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the white ginseng extract or a matching placebo for 8 weeks. Each participant takes 3 tablets after breakfast and 3 tablets after dinner (6 tablets per day). The main goal is to measure the change in ADP-induced platelet aggregation from baseline (Visit 2) to the end of treatment (Visit 4, Week 8). The study also assesses effects on coagulation measures, blood lipids, serotonin, blood pressure, white blood cell count, and overall safety.
