The Claim

Oral supplementation with 10 grams per day of CollaSel Pro® hydrolyzed collagen peptide significantly improves skin hydration and reduces skin roughness within 1 week in healthy adult females aged 35–60, with continued improvement through 8 weeks, indicating a rapid onset of action on epidermal barrier function.

Oral supplementation with 10 grams per day of CollaSel Pro® hydrolyzed collagen peptide significantly improves skin hydration within 1 week and skin roughness within 1 week in healthy adult females aged 35–60, with continued improvement through 8 weeks, indicating a rapid onset of action on epidermal barrier function.

Why this might work

After swallowing, small collagen pieces enter the bloodstream and reach the skin, where they trigger skin cells to make more structural proteins and a moisture-retaining substance. This strengthens the skin's inner layer, making it hold more water and become smoother.
