Hydrolyzed Collagen
Collagen
Skin & Joint Integrity
What it does
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, the structural glue in skin, joints, and connective tissue, and we make less of it as we age. Hydrolyzed collagen is broken into small peptides that absorb easily and appear to signal the body to build more of its own. Meta-analyses show real improvements in skin hydration and elasticity over about 90 days.
The science
Bioactive peptides that stimulate the body's own fibroblasts, improving dermal elasticity, supporting cartilage regeneration, and maintaining structural connective tissue.
Most relevant for
Skin firmness and hydration, joint comfort, and adults 30+.
