Collagen Research

Collagen is a fascinating protein that plays a vital role in our body's structure, from skin elasticity to joint health. As we age, collagen production naturally declines. Research suggests that collagen supplementation may offer promising benefits. Studies have shown it may improve skin hydration, elasticity, and even wrinkle reduction. Additionally, collagen peptides might contribute to joint health and pain relief for those with osteoarthritis.

While research is ongoing to fully understand the long-term effects and optimal dosages, the current evidence paints a promising picture for collagen's potential in supporting healthy aging. At Charava, we closely monitor ongoing research to ensure our collagen-based products are formulated with the latest scientific understanding in mind.

Below is a list of some of the interesting research and clinical trials on Collagen.
