Bioactive Collagen Peptides in Veterinary and Biomedical Science—Part I: Molecular Identity, Gastrointestinal Bioavailability, and Receptor-Mediated Signaling, with Relevance to the Bile Acid Axis
The strongest current evidence supports specific collagen fragments for relieving joint disease in dogs and horses, and a newly recognised link between collagen fragments, gut bacteria, and bile that may explain effects on metabolism and the liver is described.
