The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of collagen‐rich cattle knee bone soup on the skin health status of 14 young adults (mean age: 23.7 yrs. old). Cattle knee bone soup was fed twice weekly (300 g/ meal) as part of lunch for 6 weeks. The study included anthropometry, body composition, skin status, dietary intake and blood analyses for before‐and‐after the cattle knee bone soup consumption trial. After the trial, body weight, BMI, WHR, body fat mass and percent body fat tended to decrease, while total body water to increase. Spot, evenness and wrinkles of the face tended to attenuate, but moisture, elasticity and sebum T‐zone and U‐zone levels to increase (p<0.05). The intakes of vitamin C, vitamin B 6 , niacin, phosphorus, iron and energy were increased and especially protein and zn intakes were well above the KDRIs after the trial (p<0.05). The serum triglyceride and MDA levels tended to decrease. From the findings, intake of cattle knee bone soup may be beneficial for maintaining good skin health status. However, further studies would be required to identify the effects of collagen rich food intake on skin health status.
