Summary

This study tests whether a daily supplement called NPQ Plus can improve skin health, antioxidant status, fatigue, and well-being in healthy adults with minor skin concerns like dryness or itchiness. The supplement contains polyphenols, NMN, PQQ, CoQ10, and minerals. Participants take one sachet daily for 12 weeks, and researchers measure skin elasticity, hydration, barrier function, and blood markers of oxidative stress.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a dietary supplement containing polyphenols, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and a trace mineral complex
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple daily supplement that improves skin elasticity, hydration, and reduces fatigue in people with mild skin concerns.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with no placebo group, so results may be due to chance or the placebo effect. The supplement is not a treatment for eczema or other skin diseases.
