Investigational Product 1

Investigational Product 1 (IP1) is a dietary supplement formulated as a 25 mL daily dose containing 5 g of collagen, 1.5 g of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), and 80 mg of vitamin C. It is being investigated for its beneficial effects on various skin parameters, including dermis density, wrinkles, skin hydration, trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), dermis thickness, skin texture, and skin elasticity. Collagen is a primary structural protein in the skin, contributing to its strength and elasticity. MSM is often used for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and its role in supporting connective tissues. Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis and acts as an antioxidant, protecting skin from oxidative damage.
