The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of EMC-CAP-2025A, an eggshell membrane-based dietary supplement, on age-related skin parameters in healthy adults.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

• Does daily supplementation with EMC-CAP-2025A improve facial wrinkles compared to placebo?
• Does EMC-CAP-2025A improve skin hydration, firmness, elasticity, texture, and overall skin quality?
• Is EMC-CAP-2025A well tolerated when taken daily for 60 days?

Researchers will compare EMC-CAP-2025A to a placebo to assess its effects on multiple skin parameters using objective instrumental assessments and participant self-evaluations.

Participants will:

• Be randomly assigned to receive either EMC-CAP-2025A or a placebo
• Take one capsule orally once daily for 60 days
• Attend scheduled study visits at baseline, Day 30, and Day 60 for instrumental skin assessments and safety evaluations
• Complete self-assessment questionnaires related to skin quality and product tolerability
