Collagen supplements 'may boost skin health' but they're not an 'anti-wrinkle quick fix' - study
Collagen supplements should not be seen as a "quick fix" for wrinkles, experts have said, but they do have "legitimate" benefits.
New research from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) analysed evidence from 16 reviews and 113 trials involving almost 8,000 patients worldwide. The review found that the supplements taken over a long period could improve skin elasticity and hydration, and reduce the symptoms of arthritis, such as stiff and painful joints.
However, they did not significantly affect skin roughness. It said the products should be positioned for people seeking "holistic" skin maintenance.
And it found the supplements represent a "legitimate" additional anti-ageing treatment for women who have gone through the menopause or patients with UV-damaged skin. "Collagen may be best positioned not as an anti-wrinkle 'quick fix' but as a foundational dermal support for individuals seeking holistic skin maintenance," researchers said.
The supplements therefore support an "inside-out model of skin rejuvenation.
