"Premium Marine Collagen Hydrolysed Collagen Types 1 & 3 Pure Peptide" , I believe its peptides what you're referring to.

thank you! mine's just hydrolysed collagen (not peptides) and i believe it may be helping, but it tastes like burnt hair or cow hooves

I find it so interesting. My nails have grown super fast and strong too by the way! Despite my job where I use my hands all the time quite roughly!

And the roots of my hair overall dies feel thicker. Excited to see what happens in a year more!

That is really cool

I think that people who are not getting results from taking collagen are either not taking enough and also perhaps using poor quality collagen.

I use hydrolyzed type I and III collagen peptides about 12g per day.

I take more if I don't eat much collagen, and less if I eat lots of hotdogs and chicken skin hahaa it's amazing

i was confused about the difference so i called them today and hydrolysed collagen is the same as peptides, the hydrolysis breaks it down into peptides. so i think i'll be tasting hooves for some more time

Nice to know! Mine was by chance so I never really studied the difference. I just see it's working, so carried on! Hope you see lots of good results!
