We wanted to discover through research, if taking a collagen supplement really works to improve skin elasticity, hydration, roughness, and density.

One randomized, placebo-controlled, blind study with 72 healthy women, all over age 35 showed significant benefits after 3 months, in all areas of the skin using the test product (ELASTEN from Germany) versus placebo. 

The test product, ELASTEN, is made up of oral collagen peptides and dermonutrients which subjectively improved skin appearance from the study participants. The objective measurements, using cutometry and corneometry assessment tools showed significant improvement as well.

Collagen is a protein that makes up 80% of the deeper layers or dermis of your skin, which is the largest organ of the human body.

Unfortunately, as we age, collagen production diminishes. Collagen is considered one of the most important elements of youthfulness. The molecular size of collagen does not allow it to be absorbed when topically applied to the surface of your skin.

Supplements and certain foods you eat can boost the production of collagen. Collagen is also beneficial to joints and bones.

Top 10 Collagen Foods:
1. Bone Broth, 2. Egg Whites, 3. Bell Peppers, 4. Tomatoes, 5. Citrus Fruits, 6. Berries, 7. Fish and Shellfish, 8. Chicken, 9. Garlic, 10. Leafy Greens.

Other nutrients that aid the process of collagen production include zinc, vitamin C, and copper.

Too much sugar and refined carbohydrates can cause inflammation and damage collagen. Fruits and vegetables have naturally occurring sugars and are considered high in vitamins and minerals, and are ultimately good for your skin. 

Aging, hormones, and other environmental factors play a big role in how skin ages. 
There are certain products known to stimulate collagen growth that can be purchased over-the-counter: retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, and polyhydroxy acids.
