The results of a survey by the Medical Clinic of the University of Würzburg (Prof. Heinrich Kasper, 1995 a leading German nutritionist) showed that the long term consumption of collagen was found to increase the stability and resilience of protein structures. This in turn led to an improvement in the quality of brittle fingernails and the improvement of hair.

A study by the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Milan (Prof. Morganti, 1983) showed that the activity of hair follicles was - directly or indirectly - increased by the consumption of collagen. Results taken from patients after a three-month treatment showed an increase in hair diameter of up to 49% in some cases, with an average increase of 35%.
