How to Improve & Protect Your Skin Health & Appearance | Dr. Teo Soleymani

I think there is some benefit. The question is, what are the confounding variables to this? Where the people in the studies... on restrictive diets because they were thinking about beauty and aesthetic? Were they restricting patterns of food, dietary food, things like that, in which they weren't getting a sufficient amount of protein source to begin with?

So when they supplemented, we saw improvements in their skin. And a lot of these studies are patient recall or patient questionnaire studies in which there is inherent subjectivity and confounding variables in this.

When people take an intervention that says, hey, you may look better or this may improve the appearance of your skin, not only do you have a placebo effect in saying, yeah, I do look better, you may also do other things during your day, change your behaviors and lifestyle to fit the goal that you subconsciously want. So that's one.

Number two, there is a component in, for example, collagen supplementation that is forgotten about quite a bit. And that's the increase in blood osmolality. And I learned this in the fitness world. I was really big into fitness in college, and it was my escape from life stressors.

We found that people who supplemented with any powdered protein source, it doesn't matter, collagen, albumin, whey, and more so with people who supplement with creatine, that there is an increase in blood or plasma osmolality. So the solute concentration increase in the blood, which draws water in. That's predominantly how things like creatine make you look bigger.

And I know we're going a little bit on a tangent, but... One of the reasons the way collagen works is your blood osmolality increases. You draw a little bit more water into the vessels, which plumps up the appearance of the skin. So there is a hydration component from the water draw, and this is measurable.

You can draw a patient's blood after consuming collagen protein, whey protein, and see this spike in plasma protein. So there's that component as well, which is not truly a benefit, but it's an aesthetic benefit. And why that tends to be a problem is sometimes people who supplement with collagen end up actually having high blood pressure and they're otherwise healthy.
