Collagen Myths Debunked: What Science Actually Says

There’s a lot of misinformation around collagen—from social media claims to outdated medical opinions. Some say it doesn’t work. Others say it’s only for wrinkles. But what does science really say?

In this post, we bust some of the biggest collagen myths—and explain why Totally Derma®, a pharmaceutical-grade collagen supplement, stands apart from trendy powders.

❌ Myth 1: “Collagen Can’t Be Absorbed by the Body”

The Truth:

In its natural form, collagen is a large protein and indeed hard to absorb. But when hydrolyzed collagen (also called collagen peptides) is used—especially when it's enzymatically predigested—it breaks down into smaller peptides and amino acids that your body can actually absorb and use.

Totally Derma uses pre-digested hydrolyzed bovine collagen (Arthred®) with clinical research behind its bioavailability and efficacy.

📌 Fact: Studies show collagen peptides appear in the bloodstream just 1–2 hours after consumption.

❌ Myth 2: “You Only Need Collagen for Wrinkles”

The Truth:

While collagen is famous for smoothing fine lines, it does far more than that. It’s a key structural protein in skin, joints, bones, ligaments, and the gut lining. Supplementing collagen can support:

• Joint health & flexibility

• Gut repair (important for those with leaky gut or inflammation)

• Hair & nail strength

• Skin hydration and elasticity

• Recovery from aesthetic treatments or surgery

📌 Totally Derma contains more than just collagen—it includes Hyaluronic Acid, Green Tea Extract, Zinc, Vitamin C, and more for full-body support.

❌ Myth 3: “You Can Just Eat Bone Broth or Meat”

The Truth:

While it’s true that bone broth and meat contain collagen-building blocks, they do not offer a consistent or therapeutic dose. Plus, the quality and absorption rate varies widely depending on preparation and source.

Totally Derma delivers 10,000 mg of high-purity collagen peptides in a scientifically precise formula—more than you could get from diet alone.

❌ Myth 4: “Collagen Doesn’t Work If You’re Over 40”

The Truth:

Actually, this is when you need it most. From age 25 onward, your collagen production declines by about 1% each year. After 40, that loss speeds up—especially during menopause.

Clinical studies show that consistent collagen supplementation can help reduce visible signs of aging, increase skin density, and support joint comfort even in older adults.

📌 Totally Derma is especially popular with women 40+ looking for both anti-aging and wellness benefits.

❌ Myth 5: “All Collagen Supplements Are the Same”

The Truth:

Not even close. Many popular collagen powders:

• Contain low doses (2–5g)

• Use non-hydrolyzed collagen

• Skip supportive ingredients like vitamin C (which is crucial for collagen formation)

• Add sugars, fillers, or artificial flavors

Totally Derma is clinical-grade, sugar-free, allergen-free, and formulated to target skin, joints, and gut. It uses Synergistic Nutraceutical Technology to ensure each ingredient enhances the other.

❌ Myth 6: “You’ll See Results Overnight”

The Truth:

Real results take time. Collagen turnover in the body happens gradually. Most users begin to notice benefits in 4–8 weeks, with best results after 3 months of consistent use.

That’s why Totally Derma recommends at least a 90-day commitment for full skin, gut, and joint regeneration.
