Reply to comment by I_Fap_To_LoL_Champs in ELI5: if protein is broken down into peptides in the stomach/digestive tract, why would consuming something like "active collagen" do anything? by Alexander_Elysia
Just a warning that all the clinical evidence provided in that review was done by (or funded by) companies using their own products. It's a major issue in a lot of dermatological research as noted by this article from Harvard (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/collagen/).
It's worth noting that the American Academy of Dermatology has no recommendations regarding dietary collagen but does have evidenced backed advice for those looking to maintain healthy skin:
