Collagen peptides are used for dry skin, aging skin andosteoarthritis. They are also used for osteoporosis, brittlenails, muscle strength, and many other purposes, but there isno good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.
Type II collagen is one of the main proteins in cartilage. It’s been suggested that taking collagen hydrolysate can improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis by stimulating your body’s production of joint collagen. Taking collagen peptides by mouth seems to improve skin hydration and skin elasticity in older people and in people who suffer from dry skin.
Description
Your body makes collagen when it breaks down the protein you eat into amino acids.
The problem is that the process slows with age. Collagen starts declining by age 25 or
30; after age 40, about 1% a year is lost. By age 80, your body has a fraction of the
collagen it had when you were young. Smoking, drinking alcohol, getting too much sun,
and too little exercise and sleep speed up the loss. So do menopause and
autoinflammatory forms of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Not only does
the body make less collagen, its quality isn’t as high as it is in younger bodies. Collagen
supplements, are marketed as helping to restore youthfully smooth skin and flexible,
pain-free joints. While these supplements aren’t the fountain of youth, they do have
cosmetic and health benefits.
