What is PHG?

A collagen-derived tripeptide found among hydrolysate peptides after enzymatic digestion of collagen. It is part of the low-molecular-weight peptide fraction associated with oral collagen products.

Key Benefits & Mechanisms

extracellular-matrix signaling

Research Summary

This tripeptide has been reported among collagen hydrolysate digestion products and in absorption studies of small collagen peptides. Evidence suggests collagen-derived tripeptides can appear in circulation and may act as signaling molecules, though individual clinical effects are not established.
