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?

If there is something wrong with how your body produces collagen, oral collagen doesn’t help. Your body will digest it then rebuild collagen from scratch, and the rebuilt collagen will have whatever problems you usually have.
