So the other day, I pulled out an old box of stuff we got traveling when I was 12 or so. They are called collagen pills, and I don’t actually know what the real name would be considering all the writing’s in Chinese. But I had serious acne problems at that time, and I remember the pharmacy there told us that collagen pills or these pills as we knew them would be great for that. I didn’t actually understand any of it at that time. They were also the ones that told me I was eating too many bad fats and that’s why my face was really oily, which panned out. So why not right? Anyway, they came in a gold and red box, and they were supposed to help with wrinkles too.
Now that I look back on it, I have to wonder, is that really valid? I mean you can quite literally put anything in a pill. That’s not what I’m talking about. The thing I’m wondering is if taking collagen through a pill would work for that. I mean we used to supplement our skin with collagen creams and we have since progressed to peptides. But does it work in pill form? This I will never know as I’ve never used it since I was 12, and I still haven’t had real wrinkle problems yet. So there’s nothing to test it against.
