Efficacy of a Dietary Supplement on Parameters of Skin Aging in Men and Women

Evaluating the Efficacy of a Dietary Supplement on Parameters of Skin Aging: a 12-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study

As the body ages, the skin experiences natural changes in structure and composition. These changes may manifest visibly as increased skin dryness, wrinkling, and a loss of firmness/elasticity. In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, the investigators will recruit healthy men and women with mild to moderate signs of skin aging and randomly assign them to either receive a HyaCera™ or placebo for 12 weeks. The investigators will perform a series of objective and subjective measurements to assess changes in skin condition. The investigators hypothesize that consumption of HyaCera™ leads to improvements in the general condition of the skin including skin hydration, crow's feet wrinkling, and other skin aging parameters.
