Q: I’ve heard a lot about collagen supplements and their skin benefits. What is your opinion on them?
A: Collagen is an important part of the structural support and strength of connective tissue in the body,
including the skin. Just as eating a well-balanced diet that contains good sources of lean protein is important for providing the body with the building blocks for muscle in the body, taking a supplement that contains hydrolyzed collagen protein provides the body with the basic nutrients needed to build more collagen. Thus, it comes as no surprise to me that many clients have reported decreased look of wrinkles and firmer skin while taking a collagen supplement.
