Do Collagen Supplements help hair growth?Updated a year ago

As we age, our ability to product Collagen naturally declines, meaning our hair can be more susceptible to free radical damage, brittle and thinning hair. This is where Collagen supplements can be beneficial in maintaining healthy and boosting hair growth (Ablon, G et al. 2018). In fact, one of the three amino acids found in Collagen is proline, which is the main element of Keratin (commonly used in hair care products and treatments). By consuming a Collagen powder, this can provide your body with the foundation it needs to promote healthy hair growth, and may decrease hair thinning (Yang, F et al. 2014)
