Impact of Oral Supplementation With Bioactive Collagen Peptides and Other Functional Ingredients
Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
Summary
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), characterized by vaginal dryness, pain, urinary incontinence, and other symptoms, can be mitigated through both hormonal and non-hormonal treatments. Collagen peptides have shown promising results in improving skin, cartilage, and exhibiting antioxidative activities in studies. This study evaluates changes of quality of life and sexual function, related to vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) and initial urinary incontinence (UI) in women with GSM symptoms, with the intake of a daily oral food supplement containing 2.5 g of Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) and other functional ingredients over a 16-week period . This can represent a new therapeutic option for these patients, particularly when hormonal therapy is not an option.
