It helps boost energy during male menopause!
Do you know the Chinese Bushclover?
You may have heard of Chinese bushclover, a herb commonly believed to support men’s vitality. Officially known as Lespedeza Cuneata, Chinese bushclover is a dicotyledonous plant in the pea family, typically found in the foothills, fields, or areas with abundant sunlight. It is often harvested and cut into small pieces, which are then soaked in liquor. This drink is particularly popular among men due to its reputation for promoting male vitality.
Atomy produces a powdered extract from naturally harvested Chinese bushclover, which has been recognized as an individually certified functional ingredient by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). This highlights that bushclover extract powder can be beneficial for men's health, especially during andropause. (2022.12/Approval No.: No. 2022-40)
In October 2024, Atomy launched "Atomy Red Ginseng & Lespedeza Cuneata King," a six-functional product that combines the benefits of Chinese bushclover with red ginseng, a five-functional ingredient designed to support men’s health and immunity.
Significant Improvement Confirmed Through Clinical Trials
Dankook University Hospital conducted a human clinical trial with 103 subjects, who took bushclover extract powder for 8 weeks. The trial used the Aging Male Survey (AMS) to assess male menopausal symptoms, and the results showed a 31% improvement in the total score for the intake group compared to the control group.
Additionally, the Androgen Deficiency of the Aging Male (ADAM) questionnaire confirmed that the intake group experienced a 46% improvement in total scores, again showing a significant difference compared to the control group.

Unlike women, who experience a rapid decline in female hormones, men experience a more gradual decline in male hormones, which manifests itself in a variety of ways, such as decreased energy, fatigue, and depression. Andropause can be caused by a variety of factors, including physical and environmental factors and personal personality and lifestyle habits. Physical changes in men during andropause include fatigue, decreased stamina, joint pain, and erectile dysfunction, while mental symptoms include depression, nervousness, lethargy, low libido, and sleep disturbances.
These symptoms can negatively impact both physical health and daily life if left unaddressed. It's crucial to take steps to support male hormone levels. The upcoming release of "Atomy Red Ginseng & Lespedeza Cuneata King" will help men experiencing andropause regain an energetic and confident lifestyle.
