Summary 

Conducted in Germany at the university of Münster and the Institute for Biometrics and Clinical Research.

 

The trial was conducted on 72 healthy women aged 35 years or older. A skin assessment was carried out and based on skin hydration, elasticity, skin roughness and skin density. The trial took place over a 4 week period. The results showed significantly improved skin hydration, elasticity, roughness and density after twelve weeks of intake.

2.  Role of collagen hydrolysate in bone and joint disease

 

Summary

Conducted in October 2000 by R.W.Moskawitz, at the Case Western Reserve University, Division of Rheumatic Diseases, University Hospitals of Cleveland, OH, USA.

 

Clinical studies advocate that the ingestion of 10 g Hyrdolysed Collagen daily reduces pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. 

In a controlled trial performed in clinics in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, it was noted that there was a preferential uptake by cartilage. Suggesting that Hydrolysed Collagen may have a salutary effect on cartilage metabolism. 

Given the important role for collagen in bone structure, the effect of Hydrolysed Collagen on bone metabolism in osteoporotic persons was also evaluated. 

In conclusion, Hydrolysed Collagen is of interest in the treatment of Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis.
