Einfluss oraler Einnahme von Kollagen-Peptiden auf relevante Parameter der Hautalterung: Hautfeuchtigkeit, Hautelastizität und Hautrauigkeit

Abstract

With increasing age, the dermal matrix and collagen content decreases which results in a loss of skin hydration, elasticity and increased wrinkling. In addition to the normal ageing process, several other factors like UV radiation or smoking negatively influence skin physiology. Prior studies demonstrated that the oral intake of bioactive collagen peptides induces beneficial effects on human skin structure and functioning. In this study the oral intake of special collagen peptides (investigational product: ELASTEN®) for 3 months results in significant and sustainable improvements in skin parameters including skin hydration, elasticity and roughness.
