Collagen is available in injection, cosmetic grade (mainly used for moisturizing) and food grade. The difference between them is whether the ingredients are collagen or collagen peptides. So be sure to ask clearly before choosing collagen.

Food additives can be added as long as they comply with national food-related laws and regulations and are harmless to the human body. However, being harmless does not mean being beneficial. It is recommended that you choose pure collagen.

The choice between collagen tablets, capsules and powder products is actually just a matter of product form. Just choose the corresponding product form according to your preference. Among them, the powder has a relatively high purity and is more suitable.
