Trial Of Hydrolyzed Collagen Supplementation For Skin Quality

Oral Intake of Low-Molecular-Weight Collagen Peptide Improves Hydration, Elasticity, and Wrinkling in Human Skin: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study

Our results demonstrated that oral intake of LMWCP (1000 mg once daily for 12 weeks) efficiently improved the health of photoaged skin in a cohort of women aged 40–60 years, by significantly improving skin hydration as early as after 6 weeks of intake, and skin wrinkling and elasticity after 12 weeks of intake.

(LMWCP was low-molecular-weight collagen peptide from "sutchi catfish’s skin")

The discussion section digs into the theories of how it works. Or you can dig into their references about comparing face skin to butt skin :)

Sweet, thanks @Dan Wich.

Any views on whether gelatin/glycine would produce similar results?

Bumping this….I usually think of myself as someone who can’t handle the histamine/endotoxin in collagen but this study only used a gram a day which is like nothing. Worth noting…
