Collagen May Improve Elasticity, But Won’t Prevent Wrinkles

A review of 113 trials with about 8,000 participants finds daily collagen can improve skin elasticity and hydration over time but does not prevent wrinkles; it may also ease joint pain, though it is not a cure-all.

Diets rich in vitamin C and zinc support collagen production, and more dermatology-focused studies are needed to confirm these effects.

Hypermobile EDS Linked to Multi-System Genetic Changes, AI Study Finds

A study of 116 people from 43 families using whole-exome sequencing and AI analysis found that hypermobile EDS likely arises from multiple genetic changes across collagen-related genes, immune system genes (notably HLA), and mitochondrial energy genes, indicating a broader genetic architecture beyond collagen alone. Immune-gene enrichment was seen in about 75% of patients, and energy/metabolism links to skeletal fragility were suggested; replication in independent populations is needed.

Collagen or Biotin: Which Is Better for Hair and Skin?

The article compares collagen and biotin, highlighting their benefits for skin, joints, hair, and nails. Collagen supports skin elasticity and joint health, especially as natural production declines with age, while biotin is essential for healthy hair and nails. Both can be obtained through diet or supplements, but consulting a healthcare provider is recommended before use. Collagen may be better for skin and joint concerns, whereas biotin may help with hair and nail issues, and sometimes both can be used together.

The Truth About Collagen Supplements and Skin Health

While some studies suggest collagen supplements may improve skin hydration, elasticity, and reduce wrinkles, the evidence is mixed and often industry-funded, making it inconclusive. For joint health, benefits are possible but not definitively proven due to low-quality studies. Experts recommend focusing on proven methods like sun protection, a healthy diet, and lifestyle factors for skin and joint health instead of relying solely on collagen supplements.

The Science Behind Collagen and Effective Anti-Aging Skincare

The effectiveness of collagen supplements for reducing skin aging is uncertain, with limited scientific evidence supporting their benefits. While some users report improvements in skin brightness, hair, and nails, experts highlight that collagen taken orally may not reach the skin directly, and topical creams are unlikely to penetrate deeply. Industry-funded studies tend to show more positive results, but overall, maintaining skin health is best achieved through sun protection, a healthy diet, and lifestyle choices rather than relying solely on supplements.
