Reply to comment by DooDooSlinger in If collagen is a protein, and proteins are broken down during digestion, why would collagen or collagen supplements be beneficial? Is it just hype? by skepticated

obviously this is a hot topic and while there are some human studies, the rodent ones should be taken with a grain of salt. Collagen isn't in a typical rodent diet so it makes sense they haven't evolved to digest it the same way that humans can digest proteins. Factor in cooking and the picture gets even muddier.
