This study is testing whether a dietary supplement called KSM-66 Ashwagandha® (300 mg capsule) can improve skin and hair health in healthy men and women. Researchers want to see if Ashwagandha can help with things like skin hydration (how much water your skin holds), elasticity (how well your skin stretches and bounces back), and hair strength. You might be able to join if you are a healthy adult between 18 and 60 years old and have been using consistent dietary, hair, and skin products for the past three months. The main way they will measure success is by checking your Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL), which shows how much water your skin loses, at the beginning and after 12 weeks. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to receive either KSM-66 Ashwagandha® or a placebo (a capsule with no active ingredient) without knowing which they are getting. The study plans to enroll 50 participants.

What's involved

Participants will take either KSM-66 Ashwagandha® or a placebo capsule. Assessments will include questionnaires, skin and hair evaluations, and measurements of skin and hair parameters at the start of the study and at Week 12.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for 12 weeks, with measurements taken at baseline and Week 12.
