Collagen Supplements

Presenter Greg Foot investigates claims that collagen supplements really do improve skin health. Are they the best thing since sliced bread - or marketing BS.

It鈥檚 one of the most talked-about cosmetic products but what鈥檚 the evidence that collagen supplements really do slow the visible signs of the ageing process?

Listener Jo got in touch wanting to know if the collagen supplement she鈥檚 spending 拢53 per month on will live up to its claim of reducing wrinkles, while promoting 鈥済lossy hair and plump dewy skin.鈥�

Other listeners asked whether it can help with joint aches and pains, or strengthen nails?

Greg Foot sets out to answer all these questions by speaking to a leading consultant dermatologist as well as the co-founders of two of the biggest companies selling collagen supplements, Absolute Collagen and Ingenious Beauty.

This series, we鈥檙e testing and investigating your suggested wonder-products. If you鈥檝e seen an ad, trend or fad and wonder if there鈥檚 any evidence to back up a claim, drop us an email to sliced.bread@bbc.co.uk or you can send us a voice note to our new WhatsApp number: 07543 306807.
