Kollagen (Collagen)
Overview
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are enzymatically broken down for improved bioavailability. A review of 60+ clinical studies found evidence for improved skin elasticity, joint function, and post-exercise recovery; effects enhanced with vitamin C, silicon, or resveratrol co-supplementation. Evidence is inconsistent across anti-aging outcomes. Type I (bovine/marine) for skin/bones; Type II (chicken) for cartilage. Generally well tolerated. Animal-derived protein — unsuitable for vegans. Always combine with vitamin C for optimal effect.
