A member asked:
I heard that fermented collagen from algae is only one who is good , as animal collagen (from chicken) is not absorbed and not working. is this true?

Not absorbed: Collagen is a very large protein that is not absorbed unless is first hydrolyzed into amino acids. The source does not matter but may differ in composition.
