What the researchers found
Skin elasticity increased from R2 values of 0.86 to 0.92 in the intervention group (P < 0.05).
Why it matters
Improving skin elasticity can enhance skin health and appearance, making these supplements potentially valuable in skincare. This research supports the use of specific collagen peptides in dietary supplements.
How the study worked
A double-blind, randomized clinical trial with 30 participants aged 22-30, comparing collagen peptides with normal hydrolysates over 42 days.
What this study cannot tell us
The study had a small sample size of 30 participants, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.
