A skin study cannot answer a question about joint pain. Each proposed effect needs its own supporting evidence.
Clarify the question
Reduced pain, changes in mobility and restored joint structure are different outcomes. Look for the publication's predefined primary outcome and how it was measured.
Compare like with like
The word “collagen” does not guarantee that every study used the same formula. Compare participants, composition, the control group and follow-up duration. ClinicalTrials.gov can help you find a protocol description, but registration alone does not establish effectiveness.
When to consult a professional
The cause of pain determines the treatment approach. Discussing a supplement should not delay an examination. Prepare a list of symptoms and questions, and use the article's findings to have a more informed conversation with your doctor.
