The Claim

Oral supplementation with a liposomal formulation containing 50 mL/day of fish-derived collagen tripeptides, yeast extract, hyaluronic acid, and resveratrol for 8 weeks significantly improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkle area in healthy adults aged 25–65 compared to a nonliposomal formulation containing identical ingredients except for encapsulation.

Cause and effect
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Taking a specific liposomal supplement containing fish-derived collagen tripeptides, yeast extract, hyaluronic acid, and resveratrol daily for 8 weeks increases skin elasticity and decreases wrinkle area in healthy adults aged 25–65 more than a similar supplement without liposomal encapsulation.

See the scientific wording

Oral supplementation with a liposomal formulation containing 50 mL/day of fish-derived collagen tripeptides, yeast extract, hyaluronic acid, and resveratrol for 8 weeks significantly improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkle area in healthy adults aged 25–65, with effects exceeding those of a nonliposomal formulation containing identical ingredients except for encapsulation.

Why this might work

The fat bubbles protect the collagen pieces from being broken down in the gut, allowing more of them to enter the bloodstream and reach the skin. There, they signal skin cells to make more collagen and elastin, which thickens and tightens the skin, making it more elastic and reducing wrinkles.

  1. Study: Liposomal Delivery Enhances the Effects of a Collagen Tripeptide–Containing Formulation on Dermal Structure and Optical Skin Parameters: A Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

    This study found that taking a special liquid supplement with collagen in tiny fat bubbles made skin firmer and reduced wrinkles better than the same supplement without the fat bubbles, in people aged 25 to 65 after 8 weeks.
