In this text, several studies are discussed relating to the safety and efficacy of consuming collagen for various health benefits. The overall aim of this White Paper is to promote research and development of collagen. Results from preclinical and clinical studies show promising findings, specifically related to joint and skin health. The ingestion of essential amino acids or high-quality protein sources like whey may also have positive effects. In addition, research has shown the potential for regenerating cartilage in laboratory settings. While more thorough research is needed, preliminary studies have found promising results in terms of joint and skin health benefits from consuming collagen.
