2. Improves Skin Health

Collagen strengthens, helps hydrate skin and improves its elasticity. While collagen levels decrease with age, causing wrinkles and dry skin, studies show collagen peptide supplements may reduce dryness and wrinkles and slow aging of the skin.²‘(PDF) Oral Intake of Specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides Reduces Skin Wrinkles and Increases Dermal Matrix Synthesis.’ ResearchGate, www.researchgate.net/publication/259628887/Oral/Intake/of/Specific/Bioactive/Collagen/Peptides/Reduces/Skin/Wrinkles/and/Increases/Dermal/Matrix/Synthesis.

One study found that taking 2.5 to 5 grams of collagen peptides over eight weeks resulted in less dry skin and increased skin elasticity.³Proksch, E. ‘Oral Supplementation of Specific Collagen Peptides Has Beneficial Effects on Human Skin Physiology: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study.’ PubMed, 2014, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23949208. Another study found that drinking a beverage containing a collagen supplement for 12 weeks reduced the depth of skin wrinkles and increased skin hydration.⁴‘Journal of Medical Nutrition and Nutraceuticals,’ Free Full Text Articles from J Med Nutr Nutraceut, www.jmnn.org/article.asp?issn=2278-1870;year=2015;volume=4;issue=1;spage=47;epage=53;aulast=Borumand.
