@DrYumekuiBaku F外から失礼致します。 コラーゲンペプチドも最近は見直されているようですよ。 以下の研究だとサプリにコラーゲンペプチド以外のものも入っているのでそこは慎重に解釈する必要がありますが。 https://t.co/sieZASejf0

@DanielWhitby @kellydobos One problem I have is that the studies I've found are primarily funded by companies who benefit from positive results. (e.g. https://t.co/8aQp7lPyTr ).

Kalo di sini sih ngefek. https://t.co/8m8DUJWyxU Tapi mesti jelas isi jualannya apa. Ga semua rantai asam amino yang diserap. Jadi intinya jualan minuman kolagen itu yang penting dimetabolisme jadi asam amino apa oleh enzim usus.
