A balanced, happy gut microbiome: exactly what you
need for comfortable digestion and optimal well-being.
The Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides in our products have a large body of evidence supporting their gut health benefits. Below, we highlight and break down the highest-quality research currently available into easy-to-digest, need-to-know points — so you can understand the science behind collagen supplementation.
Study 1 - Gut
Effect of a Daily Collagen Peptide Supplement on Digestive Symptoms in Healthy Women: 2-Phase Mixed Methods Study
Published 2022 in JMIR Formative Research
Study 1 - Gut
Research design
Prospective, open-label, longitudinal, single-arm study
Objective
To understand the effect of dietary collagen peptides on digestive symptoms management.
Subjects
40 participants
Main results
1. Most participants (more specifically, 93%) who completed the entire course of supplementation — 20 grams of collagen peptides daily — for 8 weeks experienced a reduction in digestive symptoms, including bloating.
2. The researchers concluded that using a 20-gram daily collagen peptide supplement could reduce bloating and improve mild digestive symptoms without any other dietary or lifestyle interventions.
Study 2 - Gut
Collagen Peptides Ameliorate Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Immunostimulatory Caco-2 Cell Monolayers via Enhancing Tight Junctions
Published 2017 in Food & Function
Study 2 - Gut
Research design
In vitro study on Caco-2 cells (the Caco-2 cell line is originally derived from a colon carcinoma)
Objective
To investigate the effect of Alaska pollock skin-derived collagen peptides on TMFα-induced barrier dysfunction in Caco-2 cell monolayers.
Subjects
N/A
Main result
The researchers found that collagen peptides may attenuate TMFα-induced barrier dysfunction by inhibiting various pro-inflammatory pathways (e.g., the ERK1/2-mediated MLCK pathway). Note: inflammation is commonly associated with an unhealthy gut.
Study 3 - Gut
Bovine α-Lactalbumin Hydrolysates Ameliorate Obesity-Associated Endotoxemia and Inflammation in High-Fat Diet-Fed Mice through Modulation of Gut Microbiota
Published 2019 in Food & Function
Study 3 - Gut
Research design
Animal experimental research (mice)
Objective
To investigate the effect of hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides on gut microbiota structure in mice.
Subjects
Mice
Main results
1. The researchers found that the hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides helped up-regulate tight junction protein expression. Note: tight junction proteins are responsible for maintaining optimal intestinal barrier function.
2. The hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides also helped reduce the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines, like tumor necrosis factor α (TMFα), known contributors to gut dysbiosis.

"I honestly didn’t think a collagen drink could do a lot… after even 2 weeks I tried to convince myself that I wasn’t seeing softer smoother skin but after one month and people complimenting my skin!"
"It taste so good! 🌸"
"I’ve been drinking this collagen powder for 3 months and it really does work. I’m almost 50 years old and I have never been able to grow my hair this long and healthy before."
