Effect of fermented papaya supplement on skin health in older adults
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a dietary supplement called FPP (derived from fermented papaya) can improve the skin's natural barrier function and overall skin health. If you are a healthy adult in the 50-75 age range, this trial may help you learn about a simple way to support your skin.
