Your body takes ingested collagen like any form of any other protein so no point in eating it just eat any form of protein and you’ll have the same effects ( there is no enzyme that ingests collagen as collagen it gets absorbed as normal amino acids)

• Asserin et al. (2015) conducted a study with 66 Japanese and 106 French women aged 40–59 and 40–65, respectively, giving them 10g of collagen for 8 weeks. They found significant improvements in skin hydration and dermis density, with a reduction in dermal collagen network fragmentation (Collagen Supplements for Aging and Wrinkles).


• Proksch et al. (2013) involved 69 women aged 35–55, with 2.5g or 5.0g of collagen hydrolysate, showing significant improvements in skin elasticity, especially in elderly women at 1-month follow-up.


• Kim et al. (2018) studied 64 Korean women aged 40–60, giving them 1000mg of low molecular weight collagen, and noted noteworthy elevations in skin hydration at 6 weeks, with improvements in wrinkling and elasticity.


• Inoue et al. (2017) involved 85 Chinese women aged 35–55, finding substantial improvements in skin moisture, elasticity, wrinkles, and roughness in the higher collagen content group compared to placebo.


• Bolke et al. (2019) studied 72 healthy females aged ≥35, with 2.5g of collagen, reporting improved hydration, elasticity, density, and reduction in skin roughness.


• Žmitek et al. (2020) involved 34 Caucasian healthy females aged 40–65, with 10mL of syrup containing fish collagen, showing improved dermis density, reduced periorbital wrinkle area, and better skin smoothness and hydration.


• Sangsuwan et al. (2020) studied 36 postmenopausal women aged 50–60, with 5g of oral collagen hydrolysate, finding significant differences in skin elasticity between intervention and control groups.

Shit “debunk”

Calling a few of the many dozens of studies that show benefits weak or biased then shitting on wellness influencers lmfao

Conclusion is yes wellness brands and influencers overhype it duh, but it’s still shown to have skin benefits

Okay so collagen stuff is a scam like jfl at anyone who takes gelatin too boost their collagen
But collagen peptides do work

 

[RecessedCels]

Your body breaks down the collagen into amino acids. Collagen is obviously high in amino acids that support collagen production. So no it's not a scam and no it's not the same as eating any protein
