The collagen in these tablets is bovine, meaning it is derived from cattle. Bovine collagen is a stable and widely used source in supplements. The collagen is hydrolyzed, which means it has been processed to break down the large protein molecules into smaller fragments called peptides. This is important because these smaller peptides are more easily digested and absorbed by your body compared to unprocessed collagen. Once absorbed, these peptides provide amino acids that your body can use as building blocks to support its own production of structural proteins for connective tissues.
Choosing hydrolyzed collagen is common for dietary supplements aimed at supporting skin, hair, nails, and recovery, as the improved bioavailability means the nutrients are more readily available for your body to utilize.
