In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial from 2018, 53 women aged 40-60 years were randomized to receive 1000 mg of low-molecular weight collagen peptide supplement (a fish-derived collagen hydrolysate) or placebo, daily for 12 weeks. The group given collagen had significantly higher values of skin-hydration after 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Several parameters of skin elasticity …
