The Claim

Oral supplementation with either liposomal or nonliposomal formulations containing 50 mL/day of fish-derived collagen tripeptides, yeast extract, hyaluronic acid, and resveratrol for 8 weeks significantly increases dermal collagen density and skin hydration in healthy adults aged 25–65 compared to placebo.

In plain English

Taking a daily oral supplement containing fish-derived collagen tripeptides, yeast extract, hyaluronic acid, and resveratrol for 8 weeks increases dermal collagen density and skin hydration in healthy adults aged 25–65 compared to a placebo.

Why this might work

When you swallow the supplement, the tiny fat bubbles protect the collagen pieces so they don't break down in your stomach. These protected pieces get absorbed into your blood, travel to your skin, and tell the skin cells to make more collagen and elastic fibers. At the same time, other ingredients in the supplement help the skin hold more water and build more of its natural moisturizing network, making the skin thicker and more hydrated.

  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 either version of the supplement—whether the collagen is wrapped in tiny fat bubbles or not—made people’s skin more hydrated and increased collagen levels after 8 weeks, compared to taking a fake pill.
