Fatigue was significantly lower in the collagen group than in the placebo group and vigor-activity was significantly higher in the collagen group than in the placebo group after eight weeks. Moreover, those consuming collagen peptides exhibited increases in the feeling of sleep restfulness.

As reported in Frontiers in Nutrition, there were improvements in several ophthalmic examinations for dry eyes and visual health after six months of lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation for regular users of electronic screens compared to the placebo.

Higher intake of lutein and zeaxanthin was associated with a lower incidence of severe headaches or migraines in US adults, according to a study from Frontiers in Nutrition.
