Learn more about the phosphatidylserine (PS) clinical trial and endpoints:


Study Aim
The effect of orally consumed phosphatidylserine (PS) from soy on skin moisture content and wrinkles.


Study Design
Double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial.


Study Method
70 healthy Korean female volunteers, 40 -60 years, with wrinkles, divided into two groups:
- • PS (300mg/day, split between 2 capsules)• Placebo
Assessments conducted at baseline, 6 and 12 weeks.


Endpoints
- • Skin wrinkles assessed by dermatologist’s visual evaluation and 3D skin surface replica analysis (Skin-Visiometer SV 600).• Skin moisture assessed by Corneometer® CM825.
PHOSPHATIDYLSERINE (PS) CLINICAL TRIAL RESULTS
Wrinkles and Moisture Improved at 12 Weeks
Compared to placebo, 12 weeks PS supplementation resulted in:
- Reduced wrinkles:
- Reduced photodamage scores, P=0.001
- Reduced 3D skin roughness values, P<0.055
- Improved skin moisture values, P<0.055.
Changes in the global photodamage score in placebo and PS-supplemented group in clinical study
