The Role of Collagen in Skin Health and Aging

Abstract Summary

Objective: This study investigates the impact of collagen supplementation on skin health, focusing on skin elasticity, hydration, and the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines.

Context: As people age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and decreased elasticity. This study explores the potential benefits of collagen supplements in counteracting these effects.

Methods Used

Approach: The study reviews and synthesizes existing research on collagen supplementation and its effects on skin health and aging.

Data Sources: Analysis of clinical trials, peer-reviewed articles, and dermatological studies on collagen supplementation and its impact on skin parameters.

Researchers' Summary of Findings

Health Implications: The research suggests that collagen supplementation can significantly improve skin elasticity and hydration and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Collagen supplements are highlighted as a promising intervention for maintaining skin health and mitigating the effects of aging.
