Do Collagen Supplements Work for Wrinkles and Younger Skin? | Lab Muffin Beauty Science
Supplements are one of the big new “it” categories in beauty, and collagen supplements are one of the most popular. Oral collagen supplements are supposed to be anti-aging, get rid of wrinkles and plump up skin so it looks younger. What’s the science behind them and do they really work? I talk about the way they theoretically work and break down the clinical studies on eating and drinking collagen in this video.
The best studied collagen type that I mentioned in the video (independently studied) is Verisol - it’s in a whole bunch of supplements:

In what form do you propose to use HA if it is not even able to penetrate being topically applied...?
ReplyDeleteI have maaaaad respect for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this video!!
ReplyDeleteso if I dissolve tablet in my mouth to bypass stomach will it have more bioavailability
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your videos. I supplement with a marine collagen powder, not to treat wrinkles, but (because of a health problem) my skin cracks opens and bleeds in the winter, despite hydrating thoroughly. & including electrolytes. Anecdotal, and I’m not suggesting it increases the collagen in my skin, but it does improve the condition of my skin in a way in which it doesn’t get as severely dry. Now I know why 😊
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, is topical use of ATP research based and is actually efficient for firming the skin or is it just lies?
ReplyDeleteU make me subscribe 2 the darn channel lol thank you honey
ReplyDeleteI think taking anti oxidant are more better as it prevent DNA from depleting so at least to save what we have then damage it. ;) I think ;) what do you nerd skin goddess lab muffin. You are the best!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Excelent Video!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your knowledge with us all. So glad i found you. Awesome
ReplyDelete(
ReplyDeleteI learned so much about the products. Thank you so much for sharing💕
ReplyDeleteHow about collagen creams? like eye creams etc
ReplyDeleteThank you for the science.
ReplyDeleteHello. Which collagen supplement do u suggest? One that is available in the US
ReplyDeleteFor the commenters , She did say they might work , But that there is not much research going on , and that I conclude it is also going to be different from one company to another .
ReplyDeletefor example one company can sell you one that is easily broken in intestine while another will be protected from enzymes..... etc.
usually dermatologist and science related skin lover , we dislike claims with no solid evidence like collagen and many many many beauty professionals
Your suggestions on other ways to encourage collagen production is very helpful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this video I just discovered your channel from Paula's Hot&Flashy channel. I'm loving all the information you provide for us.
ReplyDeleteCan you talk about high lead levels found in collagen supplements?
ReplyDeletewhat aboUt IV collagen?
ReplyDeleteGreat video! There is one collagen which has been studied in several double blind well designed studies by independent scientists for arthritis, and that is Type II Undenatured uc Collagen. This type of collagen hasn't been heated so the collagen strand is intact and the protein chain is longer and unbroken. Here are some of the scientific abstracts.

This is a pdf file. I don't know if the link will work but here goes...

Now, I can't speak to whether this collagen will help the skin. I take one pill every day and it does help the arthritis in my hands. It's not a cure, I still have some pain but it's less than it was before. I hope you see this post and add a comment. Love your scientific approach to skin care because the skincare industry is so full of myths and unproven claims.
Could you tell me what the difference is between collagen peptides and regular collagen?
ReplyDeleteWhere can i buy youtheory collagen here in d philippines?is there an online selling this product.
ReplyDeleteI knew it that it doesn't work! Thank you for video.
ReplyDeleteDo you use them?
ReplyDeleteI bring all of my skincare onto my hands each step also, and after I started using a topical collagen/amino acid/peptide product, I absolutely swear it changed my my previously dry peeling brittle nails into wonderfully strong healthy nails. An awesome unintended side effect! Now I'm super intrigued by collagen supplements and trying to make informed decision. Recently found this channel and loving!!!! Xx
ReplyDeleteYou work really hard on these videos and it shows. Very appreciated. If you have a patreon account, I would be happy to contribute. One question: in the end of your video, you discuss ways to improve collagen and you mention vitamin c. Are you referring to consumption of vitamin c containing foods and supplements or applying a topical vitamin c to the skin directly?
ReplyDeleteOk, here is my 5 cents. I am 50, I used spongilla peels monthly for past 5 years. It removes my upper skin layer completely. I use tretinoin 0,1 every day. My skin is in very good condition. But about 2 years ago it started thinning up. I added 10 to 20 grams of collagen to my diet and it significantly improved my skin elasticity. I do not use any nonsense creams, noticed in my twenties that they make my skin dry and lazy. I do use sunscreen, since I use tretinoin.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am a woman (born), in case someone is sceptical. Nowadays better to be clear. 😉
Hello skin angel! So helpful,no s*t.Funny..all and all great videos! Do it more please..🤯😇..love love love...
ReplyDeleteWhat about applying hydrolyzed collagen topically on skin ?????
ReplyDeleteWould you eat or drink commercial sunscreen? Then do not put on your skin to be absorbed by your lymph glands, and dont take melitonin unless you want to produce less and less melitonin yourself.
ReplyDeleteWhat about hyaluronic acid supplements? I've heard that other than being good for uyour joints, they can also make your skin look much better - I struggle with combination skin but anything that clears it dries it out and anything that helps with the dry patches makes it oily or congested again so I've been trying to find the golden solution. Anyway, about the hyaluronic acid supplements - do you think it could work or is it just wishful thinking?
ReplyDeleteWhat if I take proline, lysine, vitamin C, and biotin in pure, powder form for at least 2 months. Do you think this would help in boosting any natural collagen production and helping my skin, hair, and nails? I ask because Bulksupplements on Amazon sells these, and I'm interested in investing in them.
ReplyDeleteThank you. This is much needed information
ReplyDeleteI'm using collagen fr bovine source I see my skin become smooth and plump..enough for me
ReplyDeleteThere’s heaps of different collagen - I tried 3 and only one works. Don’t try those collagen lollies but try one with highly concentrated collagen - the one from Laneige made my skin plumper and absorbed skincare better after 2 weeks :)
ReplyDeleteCan you please talk about facial massage and how it decreases or prevents wrinkles
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping it real over here! So sick and tired of people who know nothing about skincare convincing people to do all this stupid crap...
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, if you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome taking extra collagen will have absolutely no effect. We do produce enough collagen, it’s just faulty. (I’m so sick of people asking if I’ve tried collagen supplements.)
ReplyDeleteOut of topic here but I'll still try to ask.
ReplyDeleteWhen you take pills for hair growth, will it also affect the underarm and pubic hair? I mean yeah I want thicker hair on my head but not the other two😂. What about the lady-stache and hair on arms and legs?
I'm currently trying castor oil on my hair but It's a bit hard to remove the oily sticky feel in the morning.
