11. Keeps Skin Looking Young
As we age, the production of collagen in our body starts to decline. This is first visible in the skin. Skin becomes looser, wrinkles appear, and it appears less elastic. To keep your skin healthy and younger, you should ensure that your diet contains enough collagen.
In a study conducted on women, it was found that the skin elasticity and moisture improved when 2.5-5 grams of hydrolyzed Collagen were used daily for 2 months. Skin that is more elastic will show less wrinkles and sagging. Dry skin is more susceptible to UV radiation, bacteria and toxins. Keeping the skin moisturized will help it stay healthy and youthful. Collagen helps to make the skin feel smoother.
