What this video covers
This little tub of white powder has taken over the anti-aging world. It’s in our coffees, smoothies, and our social media feeds. If you’re in your late 30s or older, a friend or family member has one of these in their kitchen. Collagen peptides are supposed to be a magic bullet.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- I like to share my thoughts on skininc care with a focus on clinical evidence and safety.
- Collagen peptides supposedly help with all of this, but what exactly are collagen peptides or hydrayzeed collagen?
- A new study published in May 2025 looked at data from 23 studies and included about 1,500 people total.
- When they combined the results of these studies, collagen peptides were shown to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkles.
- Studies with industry funding versus studies without industry funding.
- When I asked the company by email, they shared that these peptides come from the scale of tilapia caught in Russia and processed in Korea, and the size of their peptides is independently tested by the Swiss lab SGS.
