THE CLINICAL TRIAL

True Collagen

Our groundbreaking Clinical Trial is a major step forward in collagen research - an independently run Brave Standard Clinical Trial that confirms the whole-body benefits of True Collagen.

Led by Dr. Jenna Macciochi, Director of Science and Innovation at Ancient + Brave, the study explored the efficacy of daily bovine collagen supplementation in healthy women aged 35–55.

    Key study results

    Skin Hydration

    76% of participants saw an improvement

    True Collagen is clinically proven to improve skin hydration: The Corneometer - a gold-standard device for measuring skin hydration - found that 100% of participants taking True Collagen experienced an improvement in skin hydration compared to placebo. After 6 weeks, skin hydration increased by 63%. After 12 weeks, hydration levels further improved to 76%. These results confirm that True Collagen deeply nourishes the skin from within, delivering long-lasting hydration for a visibly healthier, more radiant complexion.

    Key study results

    Skin barrier function

    100% of participants saw an improvement

    True Collagen is clinically proven to reduce Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL): TEWL measures how much moisture escapes from the skin—a key indicator of skin barrier strength and hydration retention. Clinical testing showed that 100% of participants experienced an improvement. After 6 weeks, TEWL decreased by 17%, meaning their skin retained more moisture. By 12 weeks, this improvement increased to 27%, confirming that True Collagen helps strengthen the skin barrier, locking in hydration for a smoother, healthier, and more resilient complexion.

    Collagen Breakdown

    100% of participants saw a reduction

    True Collagen is clinically proven to reduce collagen breakdown: The Vivascope—a trusted tool for assessing skin structure, including the epidermis and dermis—found that True Collagen helps preserve skin integrity by minimising collagen fragmentation (i.e. breakdown). After 6 weeks, collagen breakdown decreased by 18%, with 66% of participants experiencing improvement. After 12 weeks, these benefits increased to a 31% reduction, with 87% of participants showing positive changes.

    Key study results

    Fine lines / wrinkles

    100% of participants saw an improvement

    True Collagen is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines: The Profilometry—a precise tool for measuring skin texture and wrinkle depth—found that True Collagen visibly smoothes the skin. After 6 weeks, 100% of participants experienced an 8% improvement in fine lines. By 12 weeks, this improvement increased to an 18% reduction in fine lines. These results confirm that True Collagen helps to refine skin texture, promoting a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
