One of the fastest and easiest ways to replenish this vital protein is to supplement your diet with hydrolyzed collagen. Hydrolyzed collagen is a special type of protein that is “pre-digested” or broken down into smaller peptides for enhanced absorption into the body. Several studies have demonstrated that hydrolyzed collagen peptides are quickly absorbed after ingestion3 and readily deposited in the body’s tissues, where they act as building blocks and may help to trigger your body’s own internal collagen production.
