コラーゲン含有サプリメントが美肌にとって良い効果を示すのかどうかという議論は長年されてきていますが、最新の報告でも「エビデンスは不十分」という段階です。 タンパク質は食事からバランスよく摂取しましょう https://t.co/FbaKImLKFU

Don’t buy the collagen hype for skin. These are “unsubstantiated proclamations” https://t.co/gcp0IekH1W

栄養界隈に”コラーゲンを摂ったらそのままコラーゲンが増える”と確定情報のように言ってる人がいるけれど、エビデンスが乏しく、皮膚科学会は「証拠が不十分であるためコラーゲンを日常的に推奨することはできない」と結論づけているようなので、誤解なきよう。 https://t.co/FBzHHOgnQ2
