Skin Clinical Trial

Official title: A Clinical Study to Determine the Facial Skin Benefits of a Periodic Fasting-Mimicking Diet

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This single-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial is being conducted to assess the efficacy on facial skin appearance of the Sponsor's 5-day meal kit when consumed monthly for 3 cycles over the course of 71 days by women with mild to moderate dry fine lines, lack of smoothness, uneven skin tone, and lack of radiance on the face.

Clinical Trial Description

Fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) was developed to mimic the metabolic effects of water-only fasting, while providing modest calories and essential nutrients. It consists of 100% natural ingredients, which are generally regarded as safe (GRAS). It is comprised of bars, soups, and beverages aiming to achieve consistent and effective short-term calorie restriction, while providing adequate micronutrients.

The study will test the efficacy parameters, including clinical grading scores, Corneometer measurement, and Antera image analysis and subject self-assessment, of consuming the test products in place of other food over a 5 day period, for 3 cycles, over the course of 71 days when compared with baseline scores/values, and when compared to the untreated control. ;
