Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in skin carotenoid concentration as measured by pressure-mediated reflection spectroscopy (RS)

    Pressure-mediated reflection spectroscopy (RS) is used to measure tissue carotenoids. RS intensity can be used as a measure for total carotenoid content in the measured tissue volume.

    0, 4, 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Usual intake of carotenoid-rich foods and beverages

    0,4,8 weeks

Study Arms (4)

High dose vegetable juice

EXPERIMENTAL

Subject will consume high dose vegetable juice daily for 8 weeks.

Other: High dose vegetable juice

Medium dose vegetable juice

EXPERIMENTAL

Subject will consume medium dose vegetable juice daily for 8 weeks.

Other: Medium dose vegetable juice

Low dose vegetable juice

EXPERIMENTAL

Subject will consume low dose vegetable juice daily for 8 weeks.

Other: Low dose vegetable juice

Control bottled water

OTHER

Subject will consume control bottled water daily for 8 weeks.

Other: Control bottled water
