Collagen for Chronic Inflammation
There is no established biological mechanism by which oral collagen would lower systemic inflammation, and the one marker consistently measured (hs-CRP) has not moved in trials that looked for it.
How strong is the research?
No Benefit evidence
No significant change in hs-CRP (p=0.904) or ESR (p=0.624) vs placebo over 180 days; both groups stayed within normal range throughout.
