Synopsis Objective A new, novel product, C ynatine ® HNS was evaluated for its effects as a supplement for improving various aspects of skin in a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial. Methods A total of 50 females were included and randomized into two groups. The active group ( n = 25) received two capsules totalling of C ynatine ® HNS , comprised of C ynatine ® brand keratin (500 mg) plus vitamins and minerals, per day, and the placebo group ( n = 25) received two identical capsules of maltodextrin per day for 90 days. End points for skin moisture, skin elasticity, wrinkle reduction, skin compactness and skin appearance were measured. Results The results show that subjects taking C ynatine ® HNS showed statistically significant improvements in their skin when compared with placebo. Conclusion C ynatine ® HNS is an effective supplement for improving skin in 90 days or less.
