Daily supplements of hydrolysed collagen may improve skin hydration by 28 per cent and reduce wrinkles by 30 per cent according to two new studies from Rousselot.
The company presented the results at PalExpo in Geneva at Vitafoods, with skin suppleness also reported to increase by 19 per cent.
Speaking to NutraIngredients at Vitafoods, Caroline Negre, RHC Marketign Manager for Rousselot, said that the findings would be published in a perr-review journal before the end of the year. Full data has not yet been seen.
The results tap into the growing awareness of the link between diet and health, and by extension physical appearance, means that many consumers are receptive to the concept of "beauty from within"
Specific Study details:
Using the company's Peptan hydrolysed collagen, researchers in France and Japan performed two double-blind placebo-controlled, randomised clinical studies. Teh French study involved 47 European women aged between 35 and 55, while the Japanese study involved 33 Asian women aged between 40 and 59.
The European study lasted for 12 weeks in winter, while the Japanese study occured at the same time and lasted 8 weeks. In both studies, women ingested 10g of Peptan hydrolysed collagen every day and their skin conditions were assessed by dermophysiological measures and self assessment questionnaire.
According to the company, women receiving the collagen supplement experienced a 28 per cent improvement in the skin hydration levels, compared to placebo, with 91 per cent of these women reporting increased skin hydration levels after eight weeks.
Furthermore, the number of micro-relief furrows and deep wrinkles decreased by 26 and 30 per cent , compared with the placebo group.
