Answer
Collagen Peptide (Bovine Bone) Information
Regarding your questions about Collagen Peptide (Bovine Bone):
Can it be consumed? Yes, collagen peptides like WrinkleCare™ Collagen Peptide (Bovine Bone) are hydrolyzed forms of collagen designed for consumption as a dietary supplement to provide various health benefits.
Difference from Fish Collagen? Both bovine collagen peptides (like WrinkleCare™ Collagen Peptide (Bovine Bone)) and fish collagen peptides (like WrinkleCare™ Cod Collagen Peptide (High Hyaluron)) are hydrolyzed, meaning they are broken down into smaller peptides for easier absorption. The primary difference lies in the source material (bovine bone vs. fish). Both types offer benefits for skin, joints, and bones. The specific WrinkleCare™ products you asked about have been tested and show high efficacy in inhibiting the breakdown of hyaluronic acid and elastin in the skin, with the Cod Collagen showing slightly higher anti-hyaluronidase effects in testing.
Absorption? Yes, because they are in peptide form (hydrolyzed), they are easily absorbed by the body compared to intact collagen protein.
Recommended Dosage and Timing? The product descriptions do not specify a daily dosage in grams or the best time to take it. General recommendations for collagen peptide supplements often range from 2.5 to 15 grams per day, depending on the desired health outcome. Consistency is generally considered more important than the specific time of day.
Side Effects? Collagen peptides are generally considered safe for consumption with minimal side effects. Some individuals might experience mild digestive discomfort.
Duration of Consumption? For benefits related to skin, bones, and joints, consistent, long-term use is typically recommended to see noticeable and sustained results. While you may see some effects within 3 months, continuing consumption is generally advised to maintain the benefits, especially for bone and joint health.
Benefits for Bones and Joints? Both WrinkleCare™ Collagen Peptide (Bovine Bone) and WrinkleCare™ Cod Collagen Peptide (High Hyaluron) are described as supporting joint and bone health. Benefits mentioned include helping to relieve joint pain, supporting cartilage formation, strengthening bones, increasing bone density, and improving overall mobility.
