Skin signs of aging include wrinkles, loss of firmness, dryness, and sagging. These signs occur due to less collagen being made as we age and breakdown of existing collagen. Sun exposure also plays a role in aging the skin.
Research has found that collagen supplementation results in significant improvement in the texture of skin, including fewer wrinkles, increased elasticity and increased hydration. These findings suggest collagen supplements can be beneficial in slowing or even reversing signs of aging skin.
Some other benefits of taking collagen include reduction in hair loss and cellulite and strengthening of nails.
Choosing a collagen supplement that combines several nutrients for skin, hair, nail, joint and overall muscle health is important.
