Our aim was to investigate the effects oral consumption of dietary supplements based on chokeberry and tart cherry juices. Twenty women with a cellulite grade of 1-2 (Numberger-Muller scale) were participating in the study. Ultrasonography was applied to analyze the skin structure in addition to biochemical and anthropometric parameters. A reduction in the thickness of the dermis with subcutaneous fat tissue and epidermis, while the length of the fascicles was reduced by 35.93%. In 11 subjects edema of the dermis noticed at the beginning of the study was not recorded at the end. Creatinine, urea, ALT, and AST values, as indicators of kidney and liver function, remained at normal reference levels, pointing out the product’s safety. Our results showed the marked potential of tested dietary supplements in improving the morphology of skin in the regions that are affected by cellulite.
