Oral Fish Collagen Peptide Complex Enhances Skin Rejuvenation and Systemic Health Biomarkers: A 90 Day Prospective...

Area of Science:

• Nutritional Science
• Dermatology
• Biochemistry

Background:

• Aging skin presents challenges in maintaining hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction.
• Systemic health indicators such as Body Mass Index (BMI), blood lipids, and bone mineral density are crucial for overall well-being.
• Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) plays a vital role in cellular antioxidant defense.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate the efficacy of Fish Collagen Peptide Nutritional Combination (FCPNC) for facial skin rejuvenation.
• To assess the impact of FCPNC on biochemical indicators including BMI, blood lipids, SOD, and bone mineral density.
• To evaluate participant satisfaction with FCPNC for skin, nail, and hair health.

Main Methods:

• A 90-day intervention study involving 29 female participants (aged 20-55) consuming FCPNC daily.
• Assessment of facial skin parameters (wrinkle percentage, pigmentation, hydration, elasticity) pre- and post-intervention.
• Measurement of BMI, blood tests (including SOD and calcium levels), and bone mineral density at baseline and study conclusion.

Main Results:

• Significant improvements observed in skin hydration, elasticity, and reduced wrinkle area percentage after 30, 60, and 90 days.
• Systemic benefits included BMI normalization in 58.33% of overweight participants and a 31.03% increase in SOD activity.
• Calcium levels increased by 48.28%, indicating potential bone health advantages, with 93% participant satisfaction by study end.

Conclusions:

• FCPNC demonstrates potential benefits for both skin health and overall physiological status.
• The findings support the consideration of FCPNC as a functional food for health and wellness.
• Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are recommended to substantiate these preliminary results.
