if protein is broken down into peptides in the stomach/digestive tract, why would consuming something like “active collagen” do anything?

I’m basically wondering like what effect is it having if it’s broken down into peptides in the stomach before absorption in the system, or is it one of those things that’s somehow absorbed by the bloodstream before digestion (like some medications)

Your right, it doesn’t, there’s a reason doctors don’t prescribe collagen supplements and it’s be cause your body just breaks them down into the amino acids, and your body can’t recognise where those amino acids originally came from and so when it turns them back into proteins, it’s just uses them for whatever it needs to make. Collage supplements and many stuff at the health stores are a load of bullrot
