What the Research Says
In a 2026 "umbrella review" of 113 clinical trials (8,000+ participants), consistent collagen supplementation was found to significantly improve skin hydration, increase elasticity, and measurably reduce osteoarthritis pain.
In the US, 1 in 4 adults now views collagen as a "staple" of their daily health routine, shifting from "treating a problem" to "foundational maintenance."
