Can You Take Argireline and Collagen Peptides Together?
May affect absorption
The short answer
Argireline is a peptide that competes with collagen peptides for intestinal peptide transporters (PepT1/PepT2) when taken orally. Simultaneous intake may reduce the absorption of both peptides.
How to arrange timing
Separate oral intake of Argireline and collagen peptides by at least 1 hour for optimal absorption.

Important context
Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
