April 2020 in “Nutrafoods - International Journal on Nutraceuticals, Functional Foods and Novel Foods” In this study, Bioactive Collagen Peptides supplementation increased hair follicle cell proliferation and improved hair thickness in healthy women over 16 weeks compared to a placebo.
April 2024 in “Más dermatología” This study reported that bioactive peptides from skin collagen, obtained through selective hydrolysis, improve skin collagen synthesis and remodeling, while inhibiting its breakdown by metalloproteinases, showing benefits such as enhanced skin hydration, elasticity, healing, and hair restoration, without associated adverse effects.
July 2026 in “ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science” This source provides a review of patents on the use of fish collagen peptides in wound care, highlighting benefits like skin hydration, scar repair, and antiaging, while emphasizing the need for further clinical research to validate these applications.
March 2026 in “Food, Nutrition and Health.” This review highlights research reporting that oral collagen peptide supplements are effective in enhancing skin elasticity, hydration, and reducing wrinkles, although results vary across studies. Oral supplementation was generally well-tolerated, and further investigation is needed to optimize formulations and explore topical application challenges.
March 2024 in “Journal of functional foods” This study found that both marine and bovine collagen peptides may help prevent hair loss by supporting epithelial hair follicle stem cell functions, with marine peptides maintaining hair in the growth phase and bovine peptides increasing stem cell presence in hair follicle regions.
