"Unveiling the Truth: The Impact of Collagen Supplements on Skin Health"
TL;DR Summary
Collagen is a protein that diminishes as we age, leading to skin aging. While collagen supplements are popular, evidence supporting their benefits is weak. Instead, dermatologists recommend sunscreen and retinoids for skin health. Collagen supplements are generally safe, but their effectiveness is questionable. Some studies suggest benefits for joint health, but evidence is limited. Other ways to support collagen production include sun protection, avoiding smoking and pollution, and getting enough sleep. High red meat consumption is not recommended for skin rejuvenation due to associated health risks.
