The Claim

Oral supplementation with 10 grams per day of CollaSel Pro® hydrolyzed collagen peptide for 8 weeks significantly improves skin elasticity by 7.8% (from 39.9 to 43.0 mPa), skin hydration by 26.2% (from 52.2 to 65.8 g/m³), and skin roughness by 62.1% (from 24.8 to 40.2 μg/cm²) in healthy adult females aged 35–60, as measured by biophysical devices, indicating a direct effect on dermal structure and function.

In plain English

Taking 10 grams of CollaSel Pro® hydrolyzed collagen peptide daily for 8 weeks increases skin elasticity by 7.8%, increases skin hydration by 26.2%, and reduces skin roughness by 62.1% in healthy women aged 35 to 60.

See the scientific wording

Oral supplementation with 10 grams per day of CollaSel Pro® hydrolyzed collagen peptide for 8 weeks significantly improves skin elasticity by 7.8% (from 39.9 to 43.0 mPa), skin hydration by 26.2% (from 52.2 to 65.8 g/m³), and skin roughness by 62.1% (from 24.8 to 40.2 μg/cm²) in healthy adult females aged 35–60, as measured by biophysical devices, indicating a direct effect on dermal structure and function.

Why this might work

After being absorbed from the gut, small collagen fragments travel through the blood to the skin, where they trigger skin cells to make more structural proteins and moisture-retaining molecules, leading to firmer, smoother, and more hydrated skin.
