(1) All 240 participants were recruited in experiment 2, and a total of 40 volunteers with various ages took part in each group between 45 and 70 years. (2) All the volunteers took the capsules three times daily for six months and stopped treatment at the end of the sixth month. Afterward, we followed up the parameters and questions for a further six months. (3) A herbal capsule included 200 mg Cassiae Semen, 200 mg wolfberry, and 40 mg Dendrobium huoshanense (DD). (4) At first, we compared the results (at the third, sixth, ninth, and twelfth months) with the baseline. Second, we inspected the data (at the ninth and twelfth months) with the results of the sixth month. In all comparisons, the method of Scheffe’s test was used for analysis. (5) When the p value was less than 0.05, it was considered as a significant difference. Hence, in the first comparison, it will be marked as , and in the second comparison, it will be marked as.
