Evaluation of Changes in Skin Carotenoid Score in Medical Students Following a Dietary Supplement-based Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating LifePak Nano for Health Behavior. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Skin Carotenoid Scores (SCS) are a biomarker of overall antioxidant status. This study extends an earlier study in which an increase in skin carotenoid scores (SCS) was observed in subjects who increased their intake of fruits and vegetables. The scores were determined using the Raman Spectroscopy. In that study subjects were assigned to one of four groups based on their baseline SCS. For unknown reasons, the groups with the highest and lowest baseline SCS failed to show an increase whereas the two intermediate groups did. One possible explanation might be that intakes varied more than expected and was not obvious due to self-reporting of intake of fruits and vegetables with different contents.
