Study demonstrates how Altrient C increases skin elasticity by 61%
The clinical trial, sponsored by Abundance & Health Limited and LivOn Laboratories Inc., was a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study conducted between August and November 2014 by Princeton Consumer Research. The study aimed to evaluate the anti-aging effects of varying dosages of Altrient C compared to a placebo, focusing on improvements in skin firmness and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
The study involved 45 healthy volunteers with self-assessed aging, non-firm skin to assess the efficacy of different treatment dosages of Altrient Liposomal Vitamin C.
Participants were divided into three groups,
- Group A: 1 sachet of Altrient C per day (1000mg liposomal sodium ascorbate)
- Group B: a placebo
- Group C: 3 sachets of Altrient C per day (3000mg liposomal sodium ascorbate)
Assessments were made using cutometry and profilometry at the beginning of the study, then at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 to measure changes in skin viscoelasticity and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The cutometer assessments focused on measuring the skin's viscoelastic properties, essentially its firmness and elasticity. These properties are indicative of the skin's ability to resist deformation and return to its original state after being stretched or compressed. The profilometry assessments were aimed at quantifying the skin's texture, specifically analysing the depth and number of fine lines and wrinkles, which are common indicators of skin aging.
Group A, receiving the lower dosage of Altrient C, showed progressive improvement in both skin firmness and texture. Group B, the placebo group, exhibited no significant changes throughout the study period. Group C, which received the high dosage of Altrient C at 3000mg daily, exhibited the most substantial improvements. Results for groups A and C piqued at week 12, only marginally improving in the final four weeks of the study.
Increase in skin elasticity
Mean values taken from cutometer readings were able to show the evolution of skin viscoelasticity. Results show an average increase of 61% in skin elasticity after 12 weeks with 3 sachets of Altrient C taken daily.
Reduction in fine lines + wrinkles
Mean values demonstrate the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles with objective measurements. Results demonstrate an average of 13.6% reduction in wrinkles after 12 weeks taking 3 sachets of Altrient C daily.
The clinical trial demonstrates that Altrient C, even at standard dosages, significantly improves skin firmness and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These findings highlight the importance of Altrient C for supporting an anti-aging skincare protocol and underscores the importance of continued research in this area to fully understand the mechanisms through which vitamin C contributes to collagen production, prevention of free-radical damage and overall optimised health and wellbeing.
