About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Effects of a Novel Multi-Targeted Dermatologist-Formulated Oral Supplement on Skin, Hair, Sleep, Energy, Cognition, Libido, and Longevity

This study evaluated the effects of a daily oral supplement regimen (Advanced ID Brain, Heart and Eye Omega Gel Capsules taken with Advanced ID Longevity and Collagen Complex Powder) on measures of skin condition, hair, sleep, energy, cognition and sexual wellbeing in healthy adults aged 35 to 65 years.

Participants were randomised in a 2:1 ratio to receive either the active supplement regimen or a matched placebo regimen once daily with food for 12 weeks. Instrumental skin measurements, trained-assessor visual grading and participant questionnaires were performed at baseline (Day 0), Day 28 and Day 84. Hair imaging and cognitive testing were performed at baseline and Day 84. Whole blood samples were collected at baseline and Day 84 for exploratory epigenetic DNA biological clock age analysis, reported separately.

The study was single-centre, sponsored by IDI Skincare Limited and conducted by Eurofins Product Testing Services Ltd (trading as Eurofins Alba) in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

Read the detailed description

Study conduct

The study was conducted at a single centre over 12 weeks with three clinic visits: baseline (Day 0), Day 28 and Day 84. At each of the first two visits participants received a four-week supply of their allocated study products together with a diary sheet to record daily consumption and compliance. Participants consumed their allocated products once daily in the morning with food at home. An acclimatisation period preceded instrumental measurements and imaging at each assessment visit. Adverse events were recorded throughout the study period.

Randomisation and blinding

The randomisation schedule was generated by an independent statistician using product codes only, via a centralised electronic randomisation system, with provision for emergency unblinding. Participants and assessors remained blinded to allocation throughout. Analysts were blinded to product identity at the time of statistical analysis.

Sample size

Enrolment of a minimum of 60 healthy participants was planned in order to complete with a minimum of 50 evaluable participants, targeting a 2:1 completion ratio between the active and placebo groups. The sample size was set on feasibility grounds rather than by formal power calculation.

Statistical analysis

Quantitative responses were modelled as within-subject changes from baseline using mixed models with subject as a random effect, fitted in R, with covariates comprising baseline response level, time, product and their interaction. Handling of baseline measures followed European Medicines Agency (2013) guidance. Where only a single post-baseline measure existed, a simple linear model was fitted. Questionnaire data were analysed non-parametrically where distributional assumptions were violated. Statistical significance was defined at the 5% level. No adjustment for multiple comparisons was applied, and results should be interpreted accordingly given the number of endpoints assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in skin elasticity

    Measured by Cutometer, left and right cheeks and centre forehead.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84

  2. Change from baseline in skin firmness

    Measured by Cutometer, left and right cheeks and centre forehead

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84

  3. Change from baseline in skin hydration

    Measured by Corneometer, left and right cheeks and centre forehead

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84

  4. Change from baseline in skin barrier function

    Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measured by DermaLab SkinLab USB Series TEWL Probe, left and right cheeks and centre forehead

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84

  5. Change from baseline in skin radiance

    Trained assessor global assessment using Visual Analogue Scale. Lower scores indicate greater skin radiance/brightness. Higher scores indicate duller, less radiant skin. Therefore, a reduction from baseline indicates improvement. Minimum value is 0 and maximum is 9.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84

  6. Change from baseline in fine lines and wrinkles

    Trained assessor grading using Roland Bazin scales for crow's feet wrinkles, crow's feet wrinkle depth and number, forehead wrinkles, glabella wrinkles and underneath eye wrinkles. Higher scores indicate greater wrinkle severity. Therefore, a reduction from baseline indicates improvement. Min value is 0, max is 5-7 (depending on the wrinkle scale assessed).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84

  7. Change from baseline in hair density

    C-Cube 2D image acquisition and analysis

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 84

  8. Change from baseline in hair shaft thickness

    C-Cube 2D image acquisition and analysis

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 84

  9. Change from baseline in hair count

    Baseline (Day 0), Day 84

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 84

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change from baseline in sleep quality

    Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score. Lower scores indicate better sleep quality.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84

  2. Change from baseline in perceived vitality and energy

    RAND-36 (RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.0) Vitality subscore (four-question set). Higher scores indicate greater vitality and energy (better outcome). Min is 0, Max is 100.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84

  3. Change from baseline in sexual wellbeing

    Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX). Higher scores indicate greater sexual dysfunction.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84

  4. Change from baseline in cognitive performance

    Symbol Digit Modalities Test (oral SDMT), raw and Z-scores, administered by the study doctor

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Day 84

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 20 inclusion and 32 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in skin elasticity (time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Day 28, Day 84). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2026.
