Collagen supplements alone often do not show visible skin improvement

People who take collagen supplements in the hope of smoother or firmer skin may be disappointed. According to a report on Vietnam.vn, the effect of these drinks is not always visible. Collagen taken orally breaks down in the body into building blocks. Not all of these end up in the skin.
The source lists several reasons why the skin does not improve despite supplements. Heredity, sun damage, diet, and lifestyle play a greater role than collagen alone. The type of supplement and dosage could also be influential, although there is no clear evidence for this.
Those who want to see change may need to do more than just drink a beverage, according to the source. Sun protection, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet are mentioned as additional factors. It is unclear what exact role collagen plays in this.
