Collagen supplements: worth it, or a waste of money? Here's my honest take.
The science is mixed — but here's what actually matters if you're going to try one:
- Get it hydrolyzed. Collagen is a huge protein molecule, so unless it's broken down into peptides, it likely won't survive digestion and make it into your bloodstream.
- Type 1 collagen only. That's the type linked to skin, hair, and nails.
- It's not vegan. Collagen is animal-derived (bovine or marine) — "vegan collagen" products are actually precursors, not the real thing.
