Collagen supplements probably do no harm, but, essentially, they are a waste of good money.

The dermatologist on the programme said that a lot of collagen supplements are made of ground up left over animal parts. Also, because they are food supplements they are not policed as much as medicinal products.

Ground up bones, probably. Very off-putting. I hope Abbi Cleeve and all the others selling collagen gummies, drinks etc. know about this.

There are a few, very few scientific studies showing some benefits of collagen use But many have only been given to rats and human studies show some benefits but only from the right type and strength which due to the lack of regulation is difficult to prove.
