Die Antwort: Es kommt darauf an.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Despite lots of beauty-industry chatter about the benefits of collagen supplements, finishing that first bottle isn\u2019t likely to give you the wrinkleless skin of your dreams. Sadly, the second one won\u2019t, either. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t any reasons to add a collagen supplement into your diet, according to Steven Tsaparikos, a Hancock Health dietician and certified health coach. In fact, studies have shown that when collagen supplementation is used regularly over a few months, it actually does improve skin health. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

But your best bet is to pair it with healthy lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u201cCollagen supplements may help a little bit, but the biggest bang for your buck is going to be taking care of your body, moving, and just having a more balanced diet,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

So what is collagen, anyway?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

It\u2019s the most abundant protein in the human body. It makes up most of your skin, and helps build bones, muscle, and tendons.  But as we age, our bodies\u2019 collagen begins to break down, and collagen production decreases. The result is drier, less elastic skin.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u201cCollagen itself is a very strong protein, Tsaparikos said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not just strong, it\u2019s elastic. So when you\u2019re smiling and your muscles are moving, your skin can widen and return back to its shape. Over time, the structure of the collagen degrades, and your body produces less of it as we get older. So wrinkles show up over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

And that\u2019s the reason people are turning to collagen supplements. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

To supplement or not to supplement? It\u2019s a good question.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Some studies have shown that taking collagen over several months improves the skin\u2019s hydration and elasticity<\/a>, Tsaparikos noted.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u201cI would say that if this is something that you are taking for one, two, three months, then potentially you can see an impact,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I think you\u2019re going to see the best results from collagen supplementation paired with healthy lifestyle changes.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Healthy habits\u2014including eating a balanced whole-foods-based diet, drinking plenty of water, and exercise\u2014are all good for your body\u2019s collagen. And unhealthy habits\u2014including smoking, getting too much sun, and eating a poor diet\u2014damage it. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Speaking of diet, one thing you shouldn\u2019t rely on collagen supplements for is protein, even though some of the supplements are marketed that way, said Tsaparikos:\u201cCollagen itself is a very low-quality protein compared to eggs, milk, and things like that. There are just many other better sources of protein.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

And if you\u2019re on a plant-based diet, collagen supplements probably aren\u2019t for you because they are usually made of fish or cattle products. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

How do you choose the right collagen supplement? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

If you\u2019ve decided to try a collagen supplement, be prepared to have a lot of options to choose from. But the particular brand matters less than the way it\u2019s described on the container, so look for one that says it\u2019s collagen peptides\u2014not protein.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u201cIt really doesn\u2019t need to be overcomplicated in terms of ingredients,\u201d Tsaparikos said. \u201cYou just really need collagen peptides. So if there is an ingredient list that\u2019s extensive and you see a lot of other things in it, choose a different one.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Supplements come in a variety of forms, too. The most popular are liquids, capsules, and powders that can be mixed with water. One form hasn\u2019t been shown to be better than the others, so just pick the one you like best. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

But if\u00a0you\u2019re considering taking collagen or any other supplements, it\u2019s best to consult your family doctor first<\/a>. That\u2019s the best way to find out about possible allergies or side effects you might not have considered. And, remember, nothing beats a healthy diet and exercise for making your health possible!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>
