A 90 day eight arm virtual interventional study looking at the impact of various supplement formulations for improves in hair, skin \& nail health via self report, and dermatology assessment via remote dermatologist assessment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is being run entirely on the ProofPilot clinical trial platform. Participants enroll online, submit selfies, and are shipped dietary various dietary supplements containing a one or more of Keratin, Astaxanthin, Collagen Peptides and Pro-berry powder in vegan and non-vegan formats.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants are randomized into one of eight arms. The arms include four combinations of dietary supplements for skin, hair \& nail health (Keratin, collagen peptides, pro-berry powder, vegan Keratin, and Astaxanthin). Each supplement formation is included in two arms - one arm is paid, the other arm is free.

Ceramides and Astaxanthin Free (Skin)

Participants will receive a free 3-month supply of ceramides and Astaxanthin for Hair, Skin \& Nail Health

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ceramides

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Ceramides are a family of waxy lipid molecules. A ceramide is composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid. Ceramides are found in high concentrations within the cell membrane of eukaryotic cells, since they are component lipids that make up sphingomyelin, one of the major lipids in the lipid bilayer.

Astaxanthin

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

is a naturally-occurring carotenoid found in algae, shrimp, lobster, crab and salmon.
