Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted

Who may be able to join

  • Chinese adults of Asian descent aged 18 and above;
  • Daily fruit and vegetable intake < 240g (calculated based on the fruit and vegetable section of the food frequency questionnaire);
  • S3 measurement index < 30000;
  • Participants must possess basic Chinese reading comprehension and expression skills, and be able to independently complete questionnaire surveys;
  • Voluntary participation in the test and signing of the informed consent form;
  • Willingness to comply with all evaluation requirements.

Who cannot join

  • Presence of open facial skin lesions, clearly visible scars, acne marks, etc.;
  • Skin lesions, scars, or significant pigmentation on the hand measurement area;
  • Symptoms of skin disease on the face or hand measurement areas;
  • Having undergone medical aesthetic procedures within the last 6 months;

Show all 11Show fewer
  • Currently planning for pregnancy, pregnant, or lactating;
  • Presence of any disease under current treatment;
  • Any other health issues or chronic diseases that affect behavioral or cognitive abilities;
  • Other iatrogenic reasons identified by experts or professionals that may affect the evaluation results.
  • The S3 instrument refers to a Raman spectroscopy-based biophotonic scanner. The threshold for the S3 screening value is based on previously published literature, which indicated that participants with a daily fruit and vegetable intake of less than 240g had an average Raman spectroscopy biophotonic scanner score below 25,000. However, considering practical recruitment challenges, the inclusion criterion was set at < 30,000. The S3 device measures the Skin Carotenoid Index, a non-invasive biomarker reflecting skin carotenoid levels.

About this study

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial exploring the effects of a 12-week dietary supplement regimen on skin condition and perceived overall health status.

The study will involve 120 healthy Chinese adults aged 18 and above with low daily fruit and vegetable intake. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will take a combination of Nu Skin's Vitamin C \& Green Tea Capsules and Multivitamin \& Mineral Capsules, while the other group will take a matching placebo.

Read more

The primary goal is to assess if the supplement combination improves skin health after 12 weeks, measured through specialized facial imaging (assessing spots, redness, evenness) and probe measurements (assessing elasticity, moisture, gloss). Secondary goals include evaluating changes in participants' self-perceived health status (via quality of life, fatigue, and digestive health questionnaires), psychological resilience, memory, and exploring a new method for measuring skin carotenoid levels.

This study is not intended to verify the approved health functions of the products but to explore the potential combined effects of antioxidant and nutritional supplementation on skin and general well-being.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Facial Image Capture VISIA-7

    Measured: Imaging sessions are conducted at T0 (baseline), T4w (4 weeks), T8w (8 weeks), and T12w (12 weeks)

  2. Skin Elasticity Test Probe Cutometer

    Measured: Measurements are conducted at T0 (baseline), T4w (4 weeks), T8w (8 weeks), and T12w (12 weeks)

  3. Skin Gloss Measurement Glossmeter

    Measured: Measurements are conducted at T0 (baseline), T4w (4 weeks), T8w (8 weeks), and T12w (12 weeks).

  4. Skin Moisture Content Corneometer

    Measured: Measurements are conducted at T0 (baseline), T4w (4 weeks), T8w (8 weeks), and T12w (12 weeks)

  5. Skin Hemoglobin Measurement Mexameter MX18 (Courage & Khazaka, Germany)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Skin Condition Survey

    This survey assesses participants' subjective perception of their skin condition over the past month. It consists of two parts: 1) The Fitzpatrick Skin Typing Questionnaire determines the participant's skin type (I-VI) based on genetic predisposition, tanning ability, and sun reaction. 2) The Skin Status Self-Assessment uses a 100mm visual analog scale for participants to rate various aspects of their skin, including photo-damage (acute and chronic), brightness, glossiness, smoothness, hydration, pore appearance, evenness, softness, elasticity, overall wrinkles, appearance, plumpness, firmness, and spots.

    Measured: The scales and questionnaires are administered at T0 (baseline), T4w (4 weeks), T8w (8 weeks), and T12w (12 weeks).

  2. Physical Health and Life Status Survey

    This comprehensive survey evaluates participants' perceived physical health and quality of life over the past month. It incorporates five validated instruments: the SF-36 Health Survey, the Frequency of Physical Discomfort Questionnaire, the Gastrointestinal Discomfort Symptoms Questionnaire , the Population-Based Visual Fatigue Scale, and the TCM Constitution Classification and Determination Self-Assessment Table .

    Measured: The survey is administered at T0 (baseline), T4w (4 weeks), T8w (8 weeks), and T12w (12 weeks).

  3. Psychological State and Memory Level

    This component measures participants' subjective psychological state and memory function over the past month. It uses two main instruments: 1) The Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) assesses the ability to bounce back from stress and adversity (psychological resilience). 2) The Multifactorial Memory Questionnaire (MMQ) is divided into three subscales evaluating memory satisfaction/ability (Contentment), frequency of memory failures (Ability), and the use of compensatory strategies (Strategy).

    Measured: The assessment is conducted at T0 (baseline), T4w (4 weeks), T8w (8 weeks), and T12w (12 weeks).

  4. Self-Evaluation Questionnaire

    This questionnaire is specifically designed for participants to subjectively evaluate the effects of the product intervention. It assesses perceived improvements in areas such as energy levels, overall health status, immune function, recovery speed from illness, quality of life, and the product's contribution to long-term health using a Likert scale.

    Measured: This questionnaire is administered only at follow-up visits: T4w (4 weeks), T8w (8 weeks), and T12w (12 weeks).

  5. Height and Weight Measurement BMI

    Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated from height and weight measurements to assess weight status and changes over the intervention period.

    Measured: Measurements are conducted at T0 (baseline, upon enrollment) and T12w (12 weeks).
