Study Comparing Effects of Bovine and Marine Collagen Supplements Versus Placebo on Skin, Hair, Nails, and Overall Health in Women Aged 35 to 55

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effects of bovine and marine collagen supplements compared to a placebo on skin, hair, nails, and overall body health in healthy adult women aged 35 to 55 years. This randomized controlled trial, called the BECOME Study, aims to find which type of collagen is most effective at improving outcomes such as skin elasticity, nail strength, hair thickness, and other health markers related to skin and whole body wellness. Participants will take 10 grams of either bovine collagen, marine collagen, or a placebo powder daily throughout the study period. The study includes three groups receiving these supplements to compare their effects directly. The intervention lasts for 12 weeks, with assessments at the start, week 6, and week 12. During the study, participants will be evaluated on changes in nail growth and strength, skin elasticity and wrinkles, hair thickness and strength, skin pigmentation, and hydration. Subjective assessments of skin health and digestive quality of life will also be collected at baseline and follow-up visits. The trial includes safety monitoring and aims to capture both objective and personal perceptions of health improvements over the 12-week period.
