Collagen is an essential protein found in our skin, bones, tendons, and cartilage, where it connects tissues and provides structure. In clinical studies, collagen supplementation has been proven effective in helping the body rebuild tissues and regenerate hair, nails, and skin. It may alleviate conditions of aging and even improve sports performance. Augment Life’s Collagen ensures a high content of easily absorbable protein collagen and essential amino acids required for collagen production. Collagen peptide supplements are safe to consume with almost no side effects. We recommend mixing one tablespoon (5 g) twice daily into your hot or cold liquid meals, such as cereal, soups, or smoothies. It clumps easily, so be sure to stir it thoroughly.

According to clinical research, collagen supplementation may help regenerate hair, nails, and skin. Collagen supplements may reduce aging-related problems. Collagen supplements may boost athletic performance. Collagen supplements may improve sleep quality. Efficacy Studies Taking a combination of collagen with hyaluronic acid, biotin, and vitamins C and E, also known as skin radiance collagen, for 56 days, was found to significantly improve fine lines, crow's feet, skin elasticity, and hydration, as well as hair loss in women aged 38-50 years (Trehan et al. 2024). Glycine-rich collagen peptides were observed to significantly improve sleep patterns and quality in athletic men with sleep issues. Participants were taking 15 grams of the collagen supplement for 7 days (Thomas et al. 2023). A thorough review of 19 studies on the effects of collagen peptides on women from 20 to 70 years old found that collagen does significantly improve skin elasticity and hydration while improving the appearance of wrinkles (Miranda et al. 2021). Collagen supplementation contributes to enhanced skin hydration, elasticity, roughness, and density, as demonstrated in a randomized, placebo-controlled study (Bolke et al., 2019) Collagen peptide supplementation, combined with resistance training, improves bone mineral density and bone markers in postmenopausal women, suggesting a positive impact on skeletal health (König et al., 2018). When orally consumed, specific bioactive collagen peptides have been shown to reduce skin wrinkles and increase dermal matrix synthesis, promoting anti-aging effects (Proksch et al., 2014). Undenatured type II collagen (UC-II®) has demonstrated efficacy in supporting joint health, as observed in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving healthy volunteers (Lugo et al., 2013).
