[Beauty Info] Edible Collagen: Is There a Specific Type That Is Effective?

Collagen is consumed for skin health, so naturally, its functionality must be guaranteed.

It is said that a proper product must naturally be a 'health functional food,' and that only products with officially recognized functionality are authorized to be recognized as such by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Then, how should consumers select and choose these products?

First, verify whether the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has recognized the functionality.

They say this can be verified in two ways.

Checking for the health functional food mark and skin function claims.

Second, check whether the collagen has a structure with a high absorption rate.

Low molecular weight collagen peptides in the form of tripeptides are collagen broken down into the same form found in the skin to enhance absorption.

The third is to verify the results of human clinical trials.

I think it would be an effective way to consume collagen if you choose a product after checking its recognized functionality, absorption rate, and human clinical trial results.
