Healthy looking skin is a sign of youth and vitality. And maintaining that youthful appearance is possible even as we age thanks to supportive collagen supplements. Collagen is critical to skin structure. It helps with elasticity, strength and gives the skin that plump firm feeling.

Unfortunately, as we age, collagen production naturally declines. Also, external factors such as sun exposure, pollution, smoking, and a poor diet can all contribute to decreased skin collagen production. The result can be dry, wrinkled, sagging skin.

Fortunately, research shows that collagen supplementation can help. Collagen not only stimulates the body to produce collagen on its own, but it also promotes the production of other proteins important to skin health including elastin.

According to a 2019 systematic review, collagen-based dietary supplements consistently led to noticeable improvements in both skin elasticity and hydration. Other research shows that collagen supplements can also significantly improve wrinkles and help increase the thickness and firmness of skin. Based on scientific studies, collagen has shown to help reduce those visible signs of aging skin.

In addition to supporting healthy skin, collagen has also been shown to support the health of hair, nails, muscle, and joints.
