Hydrolysed collagen protein broken into small bioactive peptides for absorption. Used for skin elasticity, joint health, and bone support.

9 reports from women who tried Collagen Peptides
I tried Collagen Peptides for adult-onset acne but the results were mixed. I felt a bit more like myself, but the side effects made it hard to continue. Not a miracle but not nothing either.
Collagen Peptides has been surprisingly effective for my dry and ageing skin. I noticed I had more energy fairly quickly. most of my symptoms had improved considerably over the following weeks. It's been a real game-changer for me.
After reading about other women's experiences with Collagen Peptides, I decided to try it for my hair shedding and scalp issues. I had more energy within the first month. my quality of life improved dramatically by 8 weeks. Worth persevering through the first few weeks.
After 10 weeks on Collagen Peptides, I'd say it made a modest difference to my dry and ageing skin. Some symptoms improved while others stayed the same. Worth trying but manage your expectations.
I was sceptical about Collagen Peptides but desperate with my thinning hair and dry skin. I noticed a subtle improvement. By week 12, my quality of life improved dramatically. Very happy with the results so far.
Research context compiled from published sources
Collagen peptides are absorbed into the bloodstream and accumulate in the skin and joints. Stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. In joints, may stimulate chondrocyte activity. In bone, provide the organic matrix for mineralisation. Types I and III are most relevant for skin; type II for joints.
