Just eat pork crackling.
Collagen has a crap amino acid profile. Very little essential amino acids, although they are present, so if you eat enough you should get some benefit. OTOH large quantities of a crap amino acid profile will saturate your transport proteins with poor amino acids...
btw, hydrolised protein for anything other than post-workout is pretty pointless and it won't help keep your Nitrogen balance positive.

Exactly. The previous page would've been a better link.
Eating collagen to make your skin better is the same numbnumpty misunderstanding of basic bodily functions that makes people think eating eggs is bad because of the cholesterol in them.
Regardless of what you eat, your body is always going to break the food down into it's constituent parts. It's called digestion.
Collagen becomes amino acids. Cholesterol in eggs become glycerides and triglycerides. Your body then uses these raw materials where it chooses.
