What this Trial Is About
Skin health is influenced by the microbiome, lipids, oxidative stress, inflammation, and UV exposure. A 12-week trial with 48 women aged 45-65 will test if polyphenol-rich pulses improve skin health by affecting these factors. Using a white rice control diet, the study will measure skin parameters and analyze correlations with changes in lipids and microbiome, potentially proving the benefits of pulses.
