Abstract in brief
- Collagen supplements are widely promoted for improving skin aging signs like hydration, elasticity, and wrinkles, but a comprehensive review of 23 randomized controlled trials found mixed results depending on study funding and quality.
- Studies funded by pharmaceutical companies showed significant skin improvements, while those without funding did not, and high-quality studies found no significant effects, suggesting that the positive outcomes may be influenced by study bias.
- Overall, there is no solid clinical evidence to support the use of collagen supplements for preventing or treating skin aging in real-world scenarios.
