Considering collagen is just a regular protein shouldnt it be digested into amino acids before being absorbed and have no medical/cosmetic effect beyond being a source of protein just like eating a steak or an egg?

I’m not sure if this is one reason, but peri menopause/menopause can cause your estrogen to plummet along with other hormonal issues, and the lack of estrogen is tied to the inability to produce as much collagen which really affects skin or exacerbates skin issues.
