Collagen Peptides

Key points

• Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are broken into amino acids (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline) that stimulate fibroblast activity
• Takes 8–12 weeks of consistent use — collagen remodelling is slow
• Most effective taken with Vitamin C, which is essential for collagen cross-linking
• Type I & III collagen supports skin, tendons, and bone matrix
• Marine collagen has slightly higher bioavailability than bovine — both work
