Rats given the peptides healed their skin wounds about a day or two faster than those not given the peptides.
Scientific Claim
Oral administration of marine collagen peptides in rats following cesarean section is associated with a reduction in skin wound healing time by 1–2 days compared to vehicle control.
Original Statement
“The average time for wound healing was 6–7 days. The healing time for skin wounds in the MCP groups was 1–2 days less than the control.”
