it is interesting that consuming hydrolized collagen in the form of a supplement or deriving it from foods like bone broth Etc does seem to be able to improve collagen synthesis or the appearance of skin making it more youthful
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
more youthful skin there's also evidence that ingestion of hydrolized collagen peptides can improve the elasticity of the Skin Barrier on the outside right make it look nice and taut if I guess we say nice we're sort of passing subjective readout on this uh make it appear taut um through the increase of certain proteins unrelated to collagen such as filigran elastins Etc
it's broken down in the blood into dipeptides and tripeptides which then are used within the collagen itself of the skin this is the hypothesis and that it can increase the chemotaxis the mobility of fiberblast which make up some of the skin tissue and give rise to the appearance of more youthful skin
So that long strand of collagen gets broken down in your stomach, but that deptide survives and that deptide actually signals in your body, which is really cool.
