A Nutritional Supplement Blend of Collagen Peptides, Lutein and Wheat Lipid Extract Improves Skin Attributes

Abstract

Background: Skin health is becoming increasingly important and individuals see both ingested supplements and topical treatments as important ways to help skin attributes. Aims: The main aim of this prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study was to determine the effects of a unique supplement containing collagen peptides, lutein, and wheat lipid extract containing ceramides on skin appearance and attributes. Additional aims of the study were to determine if using a facial cleansing device along with the supplement provided complimentary benefits on skin appearance and to monitor safety parameters to confirm safety of the supplement.
