5. Study Description
Brief Summary
To investigate the safety and efficacy of a dietary supplement on cellulite alleviation, fat deposits and quality of life.
Detailed Description
The study will be conducted as a single centre, randomized, double-blind, controlled, parallel group study with healthy female volunteers, aged 18-45 years of age, with skin phototypes I to VI and a clinical diagnosis of cellulite on buttocks (at least score 6 at Cellulite Severity Scale (CSS)).
The study will take 24 weeks (6 months) per subject. There will be one previsit during the screening phase and 8 visits per subject during the treatment phase.
Safety and efficacy variables will be performed monthly.
