Detaljeret beskrivelse

This is a phase IV, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm, parallel intervention study including three groups of 25 subjects between 35-65 years of age, treated with either Bend Beauty's Anti-Aging Formula, fish oil control or inert placebo for 90 days, with testing points at baseline, 30, 60, and 90 days.

Subjects will be preselected through a Subject Eligibility Screening (SES) against defined inclusion and exclusion criteria for entry into the trial. Eligible participants will be tested using the Chronic Inflammation Test for urinary 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 (https://chronicinflammationtest.com) and the Omega-3 Index Test for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in red blood cells (RBC) (https://omegaquant.com ), to confirm possible presence of chronic inflammation. If these test results meet a defined limit, participants will be enrolled in the trial.

A number of assessments will be conducted before and after treatment.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Anti-Aging Formula
4 capsules daily of high-EPA fish oil, borage oil, zeaxanthin, lutein and vitamin D providing 1050 mg of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 350 mg of Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), 120 mg of Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), 2.5 mg of zeaxanthin, 5 mg of lutein and 25 μg (1000 IU) of vitamin D3 for 90 days.
Kosttilskud: Anti-Aging Formula
Anti-Aging Formula contains 1050 mg of EPA and 350 mg of DHA from anchovies, sardines, and/or mackerel whole body oil, 120 mg of GLA from Borage (Borago officianalis) seeds, 2.5 mg of zeaxanthin from Capsicum annuum L. fruit, 5 mg of lutein from Tagetes erecta flower, and 25 μg (1000 IU) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) from lanolin per 4 capsule daily dose. This dosage form is the same as is commercially marketed in Canada under license Natural Product Number (NPN) 80077254.
Andre navne:
  • Bend Beauty's Anti-Aging Formula
Aktiv komparator: Control Fish Oil
4 capsules daily of 1,106 mg each of triglyceride fish oil from anchovies, sardines, and/or mackerel whole body oil providing 816 mg EPA and 572 mg DHA total for 90 days.
Kosttilskud: Control Fish Oil
The control fish oil is a soft gelatin capsule containing 1,106 mg of triglyceride fish oil from anchovies, sardines, and/or mackerel whole body oil. A four capsule per day dose provides 816 mg EPA and 572 mg DHA, which is only slightly less EPA+DHA than is provided within a four capsule per day dose of Anti-Aging Formula. This minor difference would not be expected to alter clinical outcomes.
Placebo komparator: Inert Placebo
4 capsules daily of 1040 mg each of corn oil for 90 days.
Andet: Inert Placebo
The inert placebo is a soft gelatin capsule containing 1040 mg of corn oil.

General health/function
Tidsramme: Baseline to 90 days

Subjective assessment of general health/function using an in-house designed questionnaire after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. The questionnaire consists of a list of 27 questions with answers on a scale from 0-4 that cover a variety of health indicators including pain, task oriented performance, mental and emotional well-being, appetite, etc. The resulting score defines General Health/Function as

  • Excellent 81-108
  • Good 54-80
  • Poor 27-53
  • Extremely poor 0-26
Baseline to 90 days
Physical activity rating
Tidsramme: Baseline to 90 days
Subjective assessment of physical activity using an in-house designed questionnaire after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. Results are expressed as how many days per week (0-7) that the Subject exercised to a defined amount, where a greater number of days is considered better.
Baseline to 90 days
Perceived health status
Tidsramme: Baseline to 90 days
Subjective assessment of perceived health using an in-house designed questionnaire after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. The results are expressed as the subjects' perceived health (degrees of good or bad) on the day that the questionnaire is completed using a scale of 0-100 where 0 is the worst imaginable health and 100 is the best imaginable health.
Baseline to 90 days
Mental well-being/depression
Tidsramme: Baseline to 90 days
Subjective assessment of mental well-being/depression using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 is available in the public domain, and is employed to capture data more focused on mental health indicators of depression. It is a version of the PRIME-MD diagnostic instrument for common mental disorders, which scores each of the nine DSM-IV criteria as "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day). It has been validated for use in primary care to monitor severity of depression and response to treatment. Results are presented as a score ranging from 0-27, where 0-4 none, 5-9 mild, 10-14 moderate, 15-19 moderately severe, and 20-27 is severe depression.
Baseline to 90 days
Skin Condition
Tidsramme: Baseline to 90 days
Subjective assessment of skin condition using Observ 520 Skin Analysis (http://www.observ.uk.com/) after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. Observ 520 Skin Analysis measures skin condition in the epidermal and dermal layers using skin fluorescence and polarized light illumination technology to produce visual indicators of skin's condition.The technology allows overlay of one photo on top of another to enable comparative changes before and after treatment. Numerical data will be created by comparing before and after treatment photos and assigning the descriptors: "improved", "unchanged", or "worsened" that correspond to the values +1, 0, or -1, respectively. The average numerical value from each of the three treatment arms will then be calculated and compared, which will be used as quantitative measures of the treatments' effects on skin condition.
