Abstract Summary
Objective: This study, directly relevant to the interests of dermatologists and individuals concerned about skin health, examines the efficacy of collagen protein supplementation on skin health, focusing on improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction.
Context: As the body's collagen production decreases with age, this study investigates how dietary collagen peptides can replenish diminishing levels and support skin health.
Methods Used
Approach: The study synthesizes findings from multiple clinical trials and dermatological research on the impact of hydrolyzed collagen supplements on the skin.
Data Sources: Review and meta-analysis of peer-reviewed journals and clinical studies related to collagen supplementation and skin health.
Researchers' Summary of Findings
Health Implications: The findings suggest that regular intake of hydrolyzed collagen can significantly improve skin hydration and elasticity while reducing wrinkles. These results affirm collagen's potential as a therapeutic option for aging skin.
