About this supplement
Hydrolyzed chicken collagen is a protein derived from chicken connective tissues, such as skin, cartilage, and bones. It is broken down into smaller peptides through a process called hydrolysis, making it easier for the body to absorb. This form of collagen is rich in amino acids, particularly glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity, joint health, and overall structural integrity of connective tissues.
