简要总结
The double-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, one-period effectiveness study will include 30 subjects (women, aged between 25 to 55 years, Fitzpatrick phototype II and III). Subjects will be divided in two groups, 15 in each. One group (test group) will receive investigational product - lutein syrup (4 mg/mL; daily dose 20 mg) and the other (placebo group) placebo syrup. Participants will test continuous administration of placebo or investigational product for 12 weeks in order to demonstrate and assess multiple-dose effects. The primary objective is to assess the photoprotective potential of the investigational product in relation to placebo product. The secondary objectives are to assess effects of investigational product on dermis density and skin viscoelasticity after 12 weeks of dietary supplementation.

结局指标
主要结局
Photoprotective potential of the investigational product in relation to placebo product assessed through measurements of minimal erythema dose
时间窗: 12 weeks
The primary objective is to assess the photoprotective potential of the investigational product in relation to placebo product. It will be assessed through measurements of minimal erythema dose with MED Tester using UVB irradiation. Significant change of minimal erythema dose from baseline in test group, in comparison to placebo group, after 12 weeks of dietary supplementation with study product is expected.
次要结局
- Influence of investigational product in relation to placebo product on dermis density assessed through dermis intensity measurement(12 weeks)
- Influence of the investigational product in relation to placebo product on skin elasticity assessed through measurements of viscoelasticity(12 weeks)
