Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if plant based/marine based collagen is as good as animal collagen? I have a feeling animal-derived collagen would be more effective but if you have any thoughts/experience please share!

Not entirely sure, but I would assume that it wouldn't matter because it would contain similar if not identical peptides that your body can absorb and use just as any other collagen on the market. What matters most is the bioavailability of the collagen (your body's ability to be able to break down and actually absorb the collagen). Plant based all natural sources, typically have higher bioavailability because your body easily recognizes it as edible/food whereas highly processed and synthesized products have a harder time being absorbed. Kind of like how everyone assumes you can only get protein from animal sources but you can get the same protein from a wealth of plant sources, after all protein is protein, you know, doesn't matter where it comes from as long as it has the right chemical structure.

I'm curious what brand of collagen are you looking at?
