Research is limited on if dietary supplementation of collagen is effective at improving joint/skin health and much of the research is funded by the companies that produce it so more research is needed. Collagen is broken down into amino acids in the stomach so there is not much risk to the supplements but the marketing of it is pretty much hype.
