Impact of Antioxidant-rich Supplementation on Skin Carotenoids Status, Antioxidant Status and Cardiometabolic Health in Overweight and Obese Individuals
Antioxidant-rich supplementation Element: Maintained habitual diet with additionally taking LifePak Element for 12 weeks
Antioxidant-rich supplementation Optimal: Maintaining habitual diet with additionally taking LifePak Optimal for 12 weeks
Study summary
This study aims to evaluate the effects of antioxidant-rich supplementation on skin carotenoid status, antioxidant status, and cardiometabolic health in overweight and obese individuals. The study may provide additional scientific evidence to support the further refinement of current dietary and nutritional recommendations.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Change in Skin Carotenoid Score Measured by Prysm iO™ from Baseline to Week 12 — Week 0, 4, 8, 12 Skin carotenoid status will be assessed using the Prysm iO™ device. The device scans the participant's fingertip and provides a skin carotenoid score, also referred to as the Prysm Score. Results will be reported as the numerical Prysm Score. Higher scores indicate higher skin carotenoid levels.
Mean Change from Baseline in Blood Carotenoid Concentration — Week 0 and Week 12 Blood carotenoid concentration will be assessed using blood samples collected from participants. Results will be reported as the mean change from baseline in blood carotenoid concentration at Week 12. Higher concentrations indicate higher circulating carotenoid status.
