Summary

This trial will study the effects of almond supplementation on acne and gut health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 15-45 with mild to moderate acne who have been on a stable acne treatment for at least 4 weeks. It's not suitable for those with nut allergies, recent changes in hormonal contraception, heavy past tobacco use, or those using certain strong acne medications.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if eating whole almonds can improve acne and gut health compared to a non-nut snack. Participants will be given either almonds or the control snack to see which has better effects on their skin and digestion.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves food supplementation (almonds), side effects may include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to nuts. Other specific side effects will depend on individual tolerances.
