What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to determine if a collagen supplement can address hair thinning and enhance skin health. Participants will receive either the Live Conscious Beyond Collagen supplement, which contains Vitamin C, Biotin, and various types of collagen, or a placebo. The trial suits individuals who have experienced thinning hair and increased shedding for at least three months, are concerned about their skin, and have maintained the same hair and skincare routine recently. Participants should commit to their current routines and refrain from new supplements or hair treatments during the study. As an unphased trial, this study provides an opportunity to contribute to understanding the potential benefits of collagen supplements for hair and skin health.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

You may need to stop taking certain medications, especially if they are related to hair or skin health. The trial requires you to avoid new vitamins, minerals, or supplements and to stop taking multivitamin supplements at least one month before and during the study. If you're on prescription medications for hair or skin health, you may not be eligible.

Is there any evidence suggesting that Live Conscious Beyond Collagen is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that collagen supplements, such as Live Conscious Beyond Collagen, are generally safe and easily absorbed by the body. Human studies have found that collagen supplements are well-tolerated, with few reports of negative side effects.

The supplement in this study contains Vitamin C, Biotin, and various types of collagen from sources like cows, fish, chicken, and eggshells. These ingredients are commonly used in dietary supplements and have not been linked to serious safety issues.

While specific safety data for this trial is not available, existing evidence suggests that participants can expect the collagen supplement to be safe. Consulting a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement is always advisable, especially for those with health conditions or concerns. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this study treatment for hair thinning?

Unlike the standard treatments for hair thinning, which often include topical solutions like minoxidil or oral medications such as finasteride, Live Conscious Beyond Collagen offers a unique approach by targeting hair health from within. This supplement is packed with a powerful blend of collagen types, including bovine, marine, chicken sternum, and eggshell membrane collagen, along with vitamin C and biotin. Researchers are excited because these ingredients are known to support not just hair, but also skin and nail health, potentially offering a holistic benefit. Plus, using a natural supplement could appeal to those looking for a more gentle alternative to pharmaceuticals.

What evidence suggests that this treatment might be an effective treatment for hair thinning?

Research has shown that collagen supplements can improve hair and skin health. One study found that participants taking a collagen supplement experienced 28% less hair loss and a 15.69% increase in skin moisture. These results were significant, indicating they likely weren't due to chance. In this trial, one group will receive the Live Conscious Beyond Collagen supplement, which includes various types of collagen, along with Vitamin C and Biotin, known to support hair and skin health. While further research is beneficial, these findings suggest that the supplement may help reduce hair thinning and enhance overall hair health. ^{1 2 3 6 7}
