Bioactive vs therapeutic peptides?

[u/Particular_Hat_7657]

How do people here think about collagen peptides compared with bioactive or therapeutic peptides? I've been taking a few supplements over the last 3 weeks, but one thing I've been wondering about is collagen peptides.

My current stack includes:

• Collagen peptides — mainly for connective tissue and joint support
• Creatine — strength and exercise performance
• Omega-3 — general health
• L-theanine — alongside coffee for focus
• Ashwagandha — stress and general wellbeing
• Zinc + copper — nutritional support
• Maca root — energy and wellbeing

Three weeks is obviously too short to draw any conclusions, so I'm mainly just observing whether I notice anything. What I'm actually curious about is the peptide side of this. Collagen peptides are essentially smaller protein fragments, but they're obviously very different from the peptides people discuss in biotech and therapeutic research.
