What is Collagen Peptides?
Collagen is the main structural protein in skin, tendons and cartilage. Gelatin is partly broken-down collagen, and hydrolyzed collagen peptides are broken down further so they dissolve easily.
Why do supplements include it?
They are popular because they are easy to take in drinks or gummies and are generally considered a food-type protein ingredient.
What does the research say?
General background is available from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. Research on this ingredient in finished gummy supplements is limited, and nothing here suggests it treats low testosterone, erectile dysfunction or any other condition.

Safety considerations
Collagen products can cause mild digestive upset in some people. Check the animal source on the label if you avoid certain animal products, and ask a healthcare professional first if you have a medical condition or take medication.
