Episode Synopsis

Dermatology Weekly Flash Briefing - Collagen is an essential protein in the body and is responsible for several biological functions, one of which is to keep the skin firm and supple.

In this episode, Dr. Teo Wan Lin evaluates the scientific evidence and breaks down whether or not ingestible collagen supplements are really effective.
