Collagen
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and accounts for 75% of your skin’s dry weight. Taking collagen-based supplements may have a range of benefits for your skin, including decreasing wrinkle depth and increasing skin hydration.
Various studies showed:
😀Women who consumed 2.5–5 grams of collagen per day for 8 weeks had significant improvements in skin elasticity and also experienced increased skin hydration.
😀Women taking a supplement that contained 2.5 grams of collagen peptides along with a blend of other ingredients like vitamin C and zinc significantly improved skin hydration and roughness.
😀Taking 2.5–10 grams of oral collagen supplements per day for 4–24 weeks increased skin hydration and treated xerosis, a medical term for dry skin."
