5 Menopause Supplements for Skin: What Works and What’s a Waste of Money

Menopause supplements are heavily marketed for skin health, from collagen powders to glow gummies. In this video, board certified dermatologist Dr. Dray reviews five popular menopause supplements and explains what the science actually shows. Some products, like collagen peptides and oral hyaluronic acid, have emerging evidence for modest improvements in skin hydration and elasticity. However, benefits are generally small, studies are often short term, and marketing often overstates results.
