Solarplast® Demonstrates Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Oxidant Activity In Vivo and Positively Modulates Perceived Anti-Ageing Quality of Life Questionnaire and Skin Analogue Scale
Solarplast<sup>®</sup> is an organic, non-GMO (genetically modified organism) dietary supplement from an enzymatically treated spinach preparation containing numerous active components that exhibit antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 45-day supplementation period in adult men and women (Total <i>n</i> = 84), some of whom were classified as "everyday smokers". The main outcomes include metabolic readouts, oxidative stress, inflammation, and secondary subjective assessments, including skin, physical, and mental health questionnaires. Solarplast<sup>®</sup> attenuated some markers associated with smoking-induced increases in inflammatory tone and oxidative stress markers. Furthermore, Solarplast<sup>®</sup> administration improved anti-ageing quality of life mental scores associated with depression-related symptoms, loss of self-confidence, and some anxiety-related symptoms and exhibited positive effects in some readouts of anti-ageing quality of life physical scores and skin visual analogue scores. In summary, Solarplast<sup>®</sup> is safe, well-tolerated, may reduce circulating inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, and may positively impact some mental and physical quality-of-life parameters as well as skin quality.
