This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel trial designed to assess the efficacy of Qualia Testosterone, a novel dietary supplement, in adult males aged 28 to 65 experiencing symptoms associated with testosterone deficiency. Approximately 60 participants will be randomized to receive either Qualia Testosterone (2 capsules daily) or a matched placebo for 21 days, with dosing administered each morning. The study's primary outcomes are changes in total testosterone, free testosterone (via dialysis), and dihydrotestosterone levels from baseline to Week 3. Secondary outcomes include changes in Aging Male Symptoms Scale scores-encompassing psychological, somatic, and sexual domains-as well as safety and tolerability. Blood samples will be collected in a laboratory setting, while symptom and safety assessments will be completed electronically at home.
