Effect of soy phosphatidylserine supplemented diet on skin wrinkle and moisture in Vivo and clinical trial

Abstract

Effect of supplementation of phosphatidylserine (PS), enzymatically synthesized from soy lecithin, on skin moisture and wrinkle in animal and human was investigated. Skin moisture content of hairless mice was significantly decreased and skin thickness and wrinkle were significantly increased by UV irradiation, whereas PS-supplemented groups showed reduced wrinkle depth and much less wrinkle area unlike UV control (UV/Con) group. The collagen content in PS-supplemented groups increased compared with that in UV/Con group. A placebo-controlled double-blind intake study of soft capsules containing PS (300 mg/day) was performed on 63 subjects who had normal healthy skin for 12 weeks. Dermatologist’s visual assessment and image analysis of replicas showed that wrinkle near eye was improved by PSsupplementation. Upon measurement of moisture content in the skin, PS supplementation increased the moisture content in the skin. These findings showed that PS supplementation was effective in moisturizing and improving wrinkle of the skin in both animal and human; thus, PS could be used as an effective skin food ingredient.
