TLDR Oral collagen improves skin, nails, hair, and reduces cellulite.

The document discussed the role of collagen as a major component of the dermis, comprising up to 75% of dry skin weight, and how its decrease with age leads to skin aging signs like loss of elasticity, fine lines, and wrinkles. It highlighted that topical creams are ineffective for collagen delivery due to the molecule's size, whereas oral collagen hydrolytes are absorbed through the gut and reach the skin effectively. The article reviewed multiple studies demonstrating the benefits of oral collagen intake, not only for skin improvement but also for enhancing nail health, promoting hair growth, and reducing cellulite.
