Scientific Effect
Collagen is an integral component of skin that is lost when we age. Supplementation can improve skin health, flexibility and hydration.
Clinical Study
The effect of oral collagen peptide supplementation on skin moisture and the dermal collagen network: evidence from an ex vivo model and randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials.
Results
"Oral collagen peptide supplementation significantly increased skin hydration after 8 weeks of intake."
