Study
Iwai et al. (2005) — Human ingestion study examining collagen-derived peptide fragments after consumption of collagen hydrolysates.
Study design
Participants consumed gelatin hydrolysates, and researchers analyzed blood samples for collagen-derived peptide fragments after ingestion.
Findings
Researchers detected small collagen-derived peptide fragments in circulation after participants consumed the collagen hydrolysates.
Relevance to Magic You
All three Magic You formulas use hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides. This study provides human bioavailability evidence showing that measurable collagen-derived peptide fragments appear in circulation after oral intake.
