ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether a herbal drink from Amway can help improve signs of aging in the skin, such as sagging and wrinkles, in healthy middle-aged adults between the ages of 30 and 60. The research will involve 30 participants who will be randomly placed into two groups: one group will drink the Amway herbal drink, while the other will receive a placebo drink (which looks and tastes the same but has no active ingredients). Over a period of three months, participants will make up to four visits to the study center, where their skin's elasticity and appearance will be measured.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be healthy adults aged 30 to 60, and they should not be using any other skin products or supplements that might affect the study results. They also need to agree not to engage in certain activities, like cosmetic procedures, during the trial. This study is important because it aims to find out if the herbal drink can significantly benefit skin health, which could be a valuable option for those looking to reduce signs of aging.
