Effect of Collagen Peptides on Skin Health: A Clinical Trial

This clinical trial investigates whether daily oral supplementation with specific bioactive collagen peptides (SCP) can support healthy skin in adult women. Skin aging is a natural process influenced by genetics, hormones, and lifestyle, leading to wrinkles, reduced elasticity, and changes in skin structure. Collagen is a key protein that helps maintain skin strength and elasticity, and its levels decline with age. The study will evaluate the effects of an 8-week course of SCP supplementation compared to a placebo in healthy women aged 35-55 years. Researchers aim to determine whether oral collagen peptides can improve skin hydration, elasticity, firmness, and overall appearance. This trial combines multiple objective and subjective measures to provide a comprehensive assessment of skin health, offering insights into non-invasive nutritional strategies to maintain skin structure and appearance over time. The findings from this study are expected to enhance understanding of how collagen peptides affect skin physiology and contribute to evidence-based recommendations for supporting healthy skin.
