The evidence in words
Safety profile
Very safe; it is food-grade protein. It is not a complete protein, so it doesn't count toward muscle-building protein targets.
Interactions to respect
No major interactions are on record for Collagen Peptides at typical doses, but tell your clinician about everything you take.
What Collagen Peptides is
Collagen peptides are hydrolyzed collagen (from bovine, marine, or porcine sources) delivering the glycine/proline/hydroxyproline the connective-tissue matrix is built from.
The honest bottom line
One of the better connective-tissue supplements: 15 g with vitamin C before you load the joint or tendon. Modest, real, low-risk.
