Does this stuff actually get into the system if you drink it?

Or is it just a fad to squeeze a few quid out of you?

I have previously been a sceptic ; it makes sense to me that any collagen ingested will simply be broken down into amino s.

However my sister eats a lot of bone broth which makes herself from calves feet and she swears that it helps with her leaky bowel syndrome and joint health.

Dr Rhonda Patrick, who`s opinion I respect also believes that a sufficient amount of collagen can survive the digestive process and be beneficial. She uses Hydrolysed collagen powder.

Goddamn it, now I may have to buy it again! Rhonda Patrick is the real deal

I have been using hydrolized collagen pre/post workout but was considering not restocking

On a sidenote one may consider getting marine collagen, as its mostly collagen type 1, which is what you want for connective tissue. More expensive tho, i have been using the bovine version so far
