@ancientandbrave: This is one of the most common misconceptions about collagen supplements and an important one to address. Collagen is indeed broken down during digestion and this is actually the point. True Collagen and Wild Collagen deliver hydrolysed collagen peptides, collagen that has already been broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids, specifically so the body can absorb them efficiently. Hydrolysis is the process that makes collagen bioavailable. Research suggests that some of those peptides survive digestion intact and act as signals, prompting the body to support its own collagen production. This is what is proposed to make hydrolysed collagen different from simply eating protein. Molecular weight matters here too. Our collagen peptides sit within the 2000-5000 Da range, the window research suggests is optimal for absorption and for supporting collagen synthesis throughout the body. #collagen #collagenviral
