- Collagen drink (dietary supplement)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple daily supplement to improve skin firmness and reduce wrinkles.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with no placebo group, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. Dietary supplements often show limited effects in rigorous testing.
