Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Collagen peptides have some emerging scientific evidence supporting their use for gum (periodontal) health, though the evidence is still preliminary. Collagen is a primary structural protein in connective tissues, including the gums. Studies have shown that collagen peptides may help support periodontal tissue regeneration and healing, particularly in conjunction with dental procedures such as guided tissue regeneration for periodontitis. For example, a few clinical and animal studies have demonstrated enhanced healing and reduced inflammation when collagen supplements or collagen membranes are used in periodontal therapy. Additionally, collagen peptides may help improve tissue resilience and hydration, potentially supporting overall oral health.

However, the current body of evidence is limited, with most studies focusing on topical or surgical applications of collagen rather than oral supplementation. There are only a few clinical trials directly assessing the benefits of orally consumed collagen peptides for gum health, and these often have small sample sizes or are preliminary in nature. While the biological rationale is plausible—since collagen is integral to gum structure—larger, high-quality human studies are needed to confirm any direct benefits of oral collagen peptides for gum support. Therefore, while there is some scientific basis for the use of collagen peptides in supporting the gums, the evidence is currently modest.
