The main ingredient in this product is hydrolysed collagen, which means collagen protein has been broken down into smaller peptides. After digestion, these peptides provide amino acids such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are among the building blocks the body uses for collagen-containing tissues like skin, nails, hair, joints and tendons.
Vitamin C is included for a specific reason: it is required in the enzymatic steps that help stabilise newly formed collagen structures. In plain terms, collagen formation is not only about having amino acids available; vitamin C also plays a role in how the body assembles and supports the collagen framework.
Vitamin C also contributes antioxidant activity, which is relevant for people paying attention to skin quality and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, stress and smoking. This does not make the product a treatment for skin, joint or hair problems, but it can be used as a dietary supplement by adults who want to add collagen peptides and vitamin C to their daily menu.
