The multi-site, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study included female atheltes aged 25–45 and were randomly allocated to the one of the two active intervention groups (300 mg of Libifem/day or 600 mg of Libifem/day) or the placebo group for eight weeks. The results demonstrated a significant increase in strength, lean muscle mass, and decreased total fat and trunk fat mass when supplemented with 600mg/day of Libifem.
