Purpura is a macule or papule of blood in the skin. It is mostly seen in mature skin that is often prone to significant bruising. Small lesions of less than 5 mm are called petechiae and larger ones, found mostly in subcutaneous tissue, are called ecchymosis. Actinic purpura occurs almost exclusively in elderly populations. This single-blind randomized clinical trial evaluates the effect of an 8-week nutritional supplement intervention in comparison with isolated vitamin C supplements on actinic purpura in older adults. We will enroll thirty (30) otherwise healthy participants, both male and female, aged 55 years and older. Changes in participants' skin condition will be assessed at visit 1 (baseline), visit 2 (4-week), and visit 3 (8-week) using questionnaires, standard digital photography, and clinical grading of the skin lesions.
