Abstract

A problem of the present invention is to provide a skin collagen production-promoting agent without safety problems. Another problem of the present invention is to provide a skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product and a skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product containing such a substance. TGF-β and/or a TGF-β degradation product, which is acquired by degrading TGF-β with a protease such as pepsin, pancreatin, etc., are used as a skin collagen production-promoting agent or the active ingredient of a skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product and a skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product. The aforementioned TGF-β and/or TGF-β degradation product have an effect of increasing the collagen content of the skin.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A skin collagen production-promoting agent comprising TGF-β and/or a TGF-β degradation product as an active ingredient. 
     
     
         2 . The skin collagen production-promoting agent according to  claim 1 , wherein the TGF-β degradation product is acquired by degrading TGF-β with a protease. 
     
     
         3 . The skin collagen production-promoting agent according to  claim 2 , wherein the protease is one or more selected from trypsin, pancreatin, chymotrypsin, pepsin, papain, kallikrein, cathepsin, thermolysin, and V8 protease. 
     
     
         4 . The skin collagen production-promoting agent according to  claim 1 , wherein the TGF-β degradation product has an average molecular weight of 500 or more and 8,000 or less. 
     
     
         5 . A skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product comprising the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         6 . A skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product containing the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         7 . A method of improving skin quality by oral ingestion of or application of TGF-β and/or a TGF-β degradation product. 
     
     
         8 . A method of improving skin quality by oral ingestion of 10 μg per day or more of TGF-β and/or a TGF-β degradation product or application thereof at 0.001 to 2 wt %. 
     
     
         9 . The skin collagen production-promoting agent according to  claim 2 , wherein the TGF-β degradation product has an average molecular weight of 500 or more and 8,000 or less. 
     
     
         10 . The skin collagen production-promoting agent according to  claim 3 , wherein the TGF-β degradation product has an average molecular weight of 500 or more and 8,000 or less. 
     
     
         11 . A skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product comprising the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 2 . 
     
     
         12 . A skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product comprising the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 3 . 
     
     
         13 . A skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product comprising the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 4 . 
     
     
         14 . A skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product comprising the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 9 . 
     
     
         15 . A skin collagen production-promoting food or drink product comprising the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 10 . 
     
     
         16 . A skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product containing the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 2 . 
     
     
         17 . A skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product containing the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 3 . 
     
     
         18 . A skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product containing the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 4 . 
     
     
         19 . A skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product containing the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 9 . 
     
     
         20 . A skin collagen production-promoting cosmetic product containing the TGF-β and/or the TGF-β degradation product according to  claim 10 .
