A couple of years ago, I began to notice that my skin was starting to thin a bit. I know that this is a part of the aging process, but having crepe skin is a concern. So I asked myself, "Is there anything that I can do to improve my skin?" One answer to that question was to incorporate collagen into my diet.
Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. Our natural collagen production decreases as we age, leading to thinner, less elastic skin. Supplementing with collagen can help counteract these effects.
Research has shown that collagen supplements can improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall health in older adults. For example, a review of 11 studies found that taking 2.5-10 grams of collagen per day for up to six months improved skin hydration, elasticity, and collagen content. However, it's important to note that while collagen supplements can be beneficial, they are not a miracle cure and should be part of a broader skincare and health regimen.
If you're considering collagen supplements, consulting with a healthcare professional is always a good idea to ensure they're right for you.
