A study found that combining collagen and elastin peptides in a drink improved skin hydration, elasticity, and reduced wrinkles in young and middle-aged women. This suggests that such supplements can help fight skin aging.
As we age, the skin’s collagen and elastin levels decline, resulting in sagging, fine lines, and deeper wrinkles. These changes are commonly triggered by oxidative stress, inflammation, and shifts in enzyme activity.
Collagen is the main structural protein of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue and has a positive role in healing, bone regeneration, and anti-aging of skin. The active collagen tripeptides (CPs), such as Gly-Pro-Hyp (GPH) and Pro-Hyp (PH), have shown effectiveness in anti-skin aging.
