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?

Because they want to make money. It is a pretty simple concept and it is based on an erroneous assumption.

What you eat doesn’t go through digestion unchanged. It gets broken down and metabolized. When you drink water… It doesn’t go straight to your bladder, it goes through a whole process before it is exceeded by the kidneys.
