Efficacy of Vinh Wellness Collagen on Skin Health

A Randomized, Triple-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Vinh Wellness Collagen on Skin Elasticity, Wrinkles, and Moisturizing Effect

Cheek skin elasticity will be measured using the Cutometer® (MPA 580), which applies the suction method of negative pressure. The skin is drawn into the aperture of the probe using negative pressure, and after a defined time, is released again. The resistance of the skin to the negative pressure (firmness) and its ability to return into its original position (elasticity) are displayed as curves (penetration depth in mm/time) in real time during the analysis.The difference in cheek skin elasticity, measured as Gross skin elasticity (R2), between Vinh Wellness Collagen and placebo supplemented participants after 12 weeks. Cheek skin elasticity will be on a scale of 0-100; 0= no improvement, 100 = great improvement.

Underarm elasticity will be measured using the Cutometer® (MPA 580), which applies the suction method of negative pressure. The skin is drawn into the aperture of the probe using negative pressure, and after a defined time, is released again. The resistance of the skin to the negative pressure (firmness) and its ability to return into its original position (elasticity) are displayed as curves (penetration depth in mm/time) in real time during the analysis. The difference in underarm skin elasticity between Vinh Wellness Collagen and placebo supplemented participants after 12 weeks. Underarm skin elasticity will be on a scale of 0-100; 0= no improvement, 100 = great improvement.

Cheek skin hydration is evaluated by the Corneometer® (CM 825) using the capacitance method, which is based on the different dielectric constant of water and other substances. Using the corneometer probe, an electric scatter field penetrates ting during the measurement and the dielectricity is determined. The results are stored on the device software as arbitrary units. The difference in cheek skin hydration between Vinh Wellness Collagen and placebo supplemented participants after 12 weeks. Cheek skin hydration will be on a scale of 0-100; 0= no improvement, 100 = great improvement.

Nasolabial skin wrinkles will be measured by the Modified Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale using images acquired by VISIA imaging which utilizes multi-spectral imaging and analysis capture visual information for wrinkles. The difference in nasolabial wrinkles between placebo and Vinh Wellness Collagen participants after 12 weeks of supplementation. The Modified Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale (MFWS) is a validated questionnaire that can evaluate skin wrinkle severity. It is on a scale of 0-3; 0 = no wrinkle, 3 = deep wrinkle.

Skin quality takes account of different measures including skin elasticity, skin hydration, radiance of skin, skin firmness, skin wrinkles and overall feel of skin. Each of these parameters are measured on a scale of 0 - 100; 0 = no improvement. 100 - great improvement. The difference in skin quality VAS scores between placebo and Vinh Wellness Collagen supplemented participants after 12 weeks of supplementation ona scale of 0 - 100; 0 = no improvement, 100 - great improvement.

The difference in cheek skin elasticity measured as Net Skin elasticity (R5), between Vinh Wellness Collagen and placebo supplemented participants after 12 weeks. Net skin elasticity is the elastic (immediate stretch) component of the skin without the viscous deformation. Data is represented as the difference between baseline and week 6, baseline and week 12 and between week 6 and week 12. A negative value indicates loss of skin elasticity while a positive number denotes an improved elasticity

This is a measure of skin recovery after deformation. The difference in cheek skin elasticity, measured as biological elasticity (R7), between Vinh Wellness Collagen and placebo supplemented participants after 12 weeks. Data is represented as the difference between baseline and week 6, baseline and week 12 and between week 6 and week 12. A negative value indicates loss of skin elasticity while a positive number denotes an improved elasticity

This is a measure of overall skin elasticity. It is calculated using viscous recovery area of the skin relative to the maximum recovery area. Increases in elasticity are considered an improvement.

Average blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) values for the Vihn Wellness Collagen group will be compared with those of the placebo group using statistical analysis to determine significant difference between the two groups.
