Dietary Supplements
In recent years, the demand for efficient, safe, and natural alternatives to improve skin and hair health beyond traditional lotions, shampoos, and serums has been steadily increasing.
Nutraceuticals attract considerable consumer interest due to their potential preventive or even therapeutic benefits. However, scientific reasoning to ensure that products comply with regulations for safety, quality, efficacy, and label claims is often still lacking.
We offer state-of-the-art pre-clinical services, including lower-cost, investigative compound screening in vitro and ex vivo. Our models can be utilized to investigate the effect of nutraceuticals on skin and hair function either in digested or non-digested form, elucidate their modes of action, examine synergy between compounds, and much more.
Additionally, we can perform clinical testing of our clients’ products on human skin and hair in vivo to ensure qualified health claims and set a scientific foundation to guarantee that products are ready for market introduction.
Another main advantage of engaging with us is our access to healthy and diseased hair and skin samples, which we regularly obtain from our network of dermatologists and plastic surgeons. All collected samples are stored within our Laboratory Biobank.
From study design to the presentation of results, we provide high-quality services to meet the nutraceutical testing and scientific claim substantiation needs of our clients.
Our team of experts is happy to provide consulting services to suggest the right experimental models and help customize our clients’ study projects.
Naturally, regular communication, updates on progress, and advice at every stage of the testing process are also included in our services.
