Collagen peptides are very small pieces of protein from animal collagen. Collagen is one of the materials that makes up cartilage, bone, and skin.

Collagen peptides are made by breaking down whole collagen proteins into smaller pieces. When taken by mouth, collagen peptides seem to build up in the skin and cartilage. This might help improve some skin and joint conditions.

Collagen peptides are used for aging skin and osteoarthritis. They are also used for osteoporosis, brittle nails, muscle strength, and many other purposes, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.

Don't confuse collagen peptides with collagen type I (native), collagen type II (native), or gelatin.

NatMed Pro rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate.

  • Aging skin.  Oral collagen peptides seem to improve skin hydration and elasticity in older adults. However, it is unclear if any improvements related to wrinkles are cosmetically important.

  • Muscle strength.  Most research suggests that oral collagen peptides do not improve leg strength. However, they may improve hand-grip strength and fat-free mass.
