Increases Skin Elasticity
In a 12-week study, women taking 1g daily saw significantly increased skin elasticity and cutaneous collagen content versus placebo.*
Skin loses elasticity as collagen and hyaluronic acid levels decline with age, a process that shows up as fine lines, wrinkles, and looser, less resilient skin. This study set out to measure whether daily supplementation with BioCell Collagen® could visibly change that process.
About the Study
One of the most substantial clinical studies conducted on a skin health supplement to date, this trial followed 113 healthy women aged 39 to 59 over 12 weeks. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either 1,000mg of BioCell Collagen® daily, in two divided doses, or a placebo, with neither participants nor researchers aware of who received which, ensuring an unbiased result.
What the Study Found
Compared to placebo, women taking BioCell Collagen® showed:
Significantly increased skin elasticity (P = .008)
A 12% increase in cutaneous collagen content (P < .001)
Significantly reduced facial lines and wrinkles (P = .019)
Reduced crow's feet lines and wrinkles (P = .05)
Improved visual signs of youthful skin appearance, based on wrinkle width and grading (P = .046)
Decreased skin dryness and erythema.
Result: Measurable improvement in skin elasticity and visible signs of aging
