Introduction
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, accounting for over 70% of dry skin weight. As we age, collagen loss accelerates, leading to sagging skin and increased wrinkles. Collagen peptides are produced via low-temperature enzymatic hydrolysis, breaking down large collagen molecules into smaller peptides (2000–5000 Daltons), significantly improving human absorption rates. In 2026, oral collagen peptide beauty products maintained steady growth in the Hong Kong market.
