Collagen is a vital substance that maintains our skin’s elasticity, plumpness, and suppleness. With age and the effects of photoaging, the level of collagen in the human body will decrease, and the skin will gradually lose its elasticity and moisture and enter a state of aging. Therefore, there have been many legends about how to maintain the level of collagen in the body. In addition, some foods with vicious taste, such as fish maw, Saponaria, fish skin, etc., have been given the effect of replenishing collagen.
At present, many foreign studies have proved that oral hydrolyzed collagen can effectively improve skin elasticity and dermal structure, and has a certain positive effect on reducing wrinkles and large pores.

Hydrolyzed collagen is also called collagen peptide, which is the product of collagen after enzymatic hydrolysis. There have been many studies on oral hydrolyzed collagen in foreign countries. Take one of them as an example: The study was published in the journal Clinical Pharmacology & Biopharmaceutics, and 60 women aged 40-60 were randomly assigned into 2 groups, one group taking hydrolyzed collagen A mixture of protein and vitamins A, C, E, and zinc, and the other group received a placebo.

During the study, the members of the two groups did not know which medicine they were taking. After 90 days, it was found that there was no significant difference in skin moisture content of the two groups of members; the skin elasticity of the members of the oral hydrolyzed collagen group was significantly enhanced; 81% of the members of the oral hydrolyzed collagen group had a reduction in the total number of skin pores, while the oral placebo group Among the members, 72% had increased pores; members of the oral hydrolyzed collagen group had increased dermal echo and higher skin density, indicating that the collagen content in the skin became higher. This study indeed proved the effect of oral hydrolyzed collagen on the skin.
