Collagen Peptides
Also known as: Hydrolysed collagen, collagen supplement, marine collagen, bovine collagen
Hydrolysed collagen protein broken into small bioactive peptides for absorption. Used for skin elasticity, joint health, and bone support. Relevant to menopausal women because oestrogen decline accelerates collagen loss (approximately 30% in the first 5 years post-menopause), affecting skin, joints, and connective tissue.

How does Collagen Peptides work?
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.
