About this study

Official title: Influence of Mango Intake on Skin Health in Postmenopausal Women

This study aims to investigate the effects on 16 weeks of mango intake on skin health in postmenopausal women. Half of the participants will receive 85g portions of mangoes while the other half receive 250g portions of mangos. Participants will be instructed to consume the specific portion 4 times a week, for a total duration of 16 weeks.

Read the detailed description

Mangoes are rich in carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins and other active phytochemicals such as resistant starches. Although a role of mangoes in skin health has long been advocated in traditional medicine, little scientific research has been conducted.

We hypothesize that 85g (0.5 cups) of mango intake for 16 weeks will have minimal impact on skin health, while 250g (1.5 cups) of mango intake will produce significant benefits.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Skin Wrinkle Depth and Redness

    Using a skin camera from BrighTex Bio-Photonics to measure change in skin wrinkle depth and redness within a period of 16 weeks.

    Measured: 0, 8, and 16 week

  2. Skin carotenoid

    Using a skin photometer (Veggie Meter) to measure change in skin carotenoid within a period of 16 weeks.

    Measured: 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sebum

    Sebum will be collected with sebutapes from the face and stored for possible further analysis.

    Measured: 0, 8, 16, weeks

  2. Plasma carotenoid

    Plasma samples will be collected and stored at -80C for possible further analysis

    Measured: 0, 8, 16 weeks.
