Collagen Peptides

Other

Also known as: Hydrolyzed Collagen, Collagen Protein, Gelatin

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, critical for skin, joints, bones, and connective tissues. Supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen peptides provides bioactive building blocks that stimulate the body's own collagen production.

Best Timing

Can be taken any time. Often added to morning coffee or smoothie. Take with Vitamin C for best collagen synthesis.

Absorption

Hydrolyzed peptides are well absorbed (>90%). Marine collagen has slightly smaller peptide size and may absorb marginally better.

  • -Type I & III – skin, hair, nails, bones (most common)
  • -Type II – joint cartilage support
  • -Marine collagen – from fish, high in Type I, good absorption

Vitamin CSynergy

Vitamin C is ESSENTIAL for collagen synthesis. Always pair collagen with vitamin C.

ZincSynergy

Zinc supports collagen synthesis and skin repair.

Vitamin ASynergy

Vitamin A stimulates collagen production and skin cell turnover.

Hyaluronic AcidSynergy

Collagen provides structure; hyaluronic acid provides hydration. Complementary for skin.

Oral collagen peptide supplementation significantly improves skin hydration and elasticity

Proksch E, Segger D, et al. - Skin Pharmacology and Physiology (2014)

2.5–5 g collagen peptides daily for 8 weeks significantly improved skin elasticity, hydration, and roughness vs placebo.

Collagen hydrolysate for the treatment of osteoarthritis and joint pain

Clark KL, Sebastianelli W, et al. - Current Medical Research and Opinion (2008)

10 g collagen hydrolysate daily for 24 weeks significantly reduced joint pain in athletes.
