Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body, making up approximately 30% of total protein composition. Bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the skin are some of the tissues that are dependent upon collagen for their structure. As dietary intake of collagen-rich foods is typically low in the general population, many people use collagen supplements to stimulate collagen production or to replenish age-related collagen loss. Compared to other forms of supplemental collagen, peptides have a lower molecular weight, which contributes to their easy digestion, absorption, and increased bioavailability.
