Collagen Peptide Bioavailability: 2024 Human Study

Human study on collagen peptide digestion and bioavailability

Study

Virgilio et al. (2024) — Research examining the bioavailability of collagen-derived peptides after oral ingestion.

Study focus

The research evaluated what happens after collagen peptides are consumed, including whether collagen-derived fragments can be measured after digestion and absorption.

Findings

Collagen-derived peptide fragments were measurable after oral intake, adding to the human evidence on collagen-peptide digestion and bioavailability.

Relevance to Magic You

All three Magic You formulas use hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides. Bioavailability research helps explain how orally consumed collagen is digested and absorbed before it is used within normal protein metabolism.
