An amino acid is a letter.
A peptide is two or a few dozen letters: a short sentence.
A protein is hundreds of them, folded on themselves.
Semaglutide, tirzepatide. Prescription only. Phase 3 trials.
BPC-157, TB-500. Vials labelled “not for human consumption”. Mostly animal evidence.
Collagen, eggshell membrane, fava bean. Legal EU supplement. Human trials.
We only sell the third one. And we tell you why.
Collagen peptides are partly absorbed as di- and tripeptides. That is exactly what the trials measure: not a promise, a measurement.

We cannot say collagen improves your skin. We can show you the trial and let you decide.
A collagen stick carries 2.5 g. That does not fit in a tablet. So umania works with low-dose actives that have their own trial and with nutrients that do hold an authorised claim. Two tablets a day with a meal: that is the whole protocol.
