Oral supplementation of vegan collagen biomimetic has beneficial effects on human skin physiology: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Background: Vegan collagen is an innovative plant-based collagen biomimetic that contains a variety of plant extracts, including asiaticoside, ginsenoside, and through fermented amino acids, which stimulates the natural process for type I collagen synthesis. Methods: In this study, using vegan colla...

| description | Background: Vegan collagen is an innovative plant-based collagen biomimetic that contains a variety of plant extracts, including asiaticoside, ginsenoside, and through fermented amino acids, which stimulates the natural process for type I collagen synthesis. Methods: In this study, using vegan collagen (Corpowell BV, Schilde, Belgium) to explore the skin beautifying effects in the human body. 90 subjects were recruited and divided into a placebo group (n = 30), a vegan collagen group (n = 30), and a fish collagen group (n = 30). Subjects were informed to consume 1 sachet of the sample daily for 8 weeks. Skin conditions were measured at week 0, week 4 and week 8. Results: The results showed that vegan collagen significantly increased collagen density and elasticity by 4.7% and 5.1% and decreased wrinkles, texture, and pores by 27.5%, 20.1%, and 12.3% compared to the placebo group. In addition, the hydration and lightness were increased by 4.3% and 2.3% compared to the placebo group. Conclusion: Vegan collagen has the potential to improve skin collagen density, elasticity, texture, wrinkles, pores, hydration, and lightness. |
