evidence for collagen peptides (hydrolysed collagen)

Our honest take

A single 5 g sachet of Tendoforte collagen peptides, a branded collagen marketed for tendons and ligaments, with added copper and manganese. The small trials on Tendoforte were mostly run with its maker, and collagen has no authorised health claim. At about £4 for one serving this is a way to try it, not a sensible way to buy it.

  • You want to try a single serving before buying a full tub elsewhere
  • You are vegetarian or vegan (animal collagen)
  • You want value: a single sachet costs many times more per serving than a tub
The science

Collagen peptides (hydrolysed collagen)· evidence: Limited

Collagen peptides are collagen from cow hide, pig skin, fish skin or chicken broken down into small pieces so they dissolve easily. The body digests them into amino acids and small peptides; it does not move the collagen straight to your skin or joints. Branded peptides (such as Verisol, Fortigel, Fortibone, Tendoforte, Naticol or Peptan) are marketed for particular uses.

For skin, many trials report small improvements in skin moisture or elasticity at 2.5–10 g a day, but a 2023 review found that the positive results came mainly from studies funded by the industry, while independent studies tended to find no effect. For joints and tendons, the evidence is smaller still: a few trials, mostly in athletes or older adults, mostly industry-linked, at 5–10 g a day.

There is no authorised health claim for collagen itself, so we make no claims about skin, joints or tendons. Any claim on a collagen product comes from added vitamins such as vitamin C. As a protein source it is incomplete, so it is not a good choice for building muscle.

Typical dose: Studies mostly used 2.5–10 g a day; many capsule products give far less

Safety: Made from animal or fish sources, so not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Check the source if you have a fish allergy or avoid beef or pork. Generally well tolerated.
