Abstract: The invention relates to a composition of peptides having an aminogram in which: glycine, hydroxyproline and proline are in molar quantities such that the ratio of each quantity to the sum of the molar quantities of the amino acids in the composition is comprised between 20.0% and 24.5%, between 6.0% and 12.0% and between 10.6% and 14.6%, respectively; the peptide composition comprising a quantity of peptides with a molecular weight lower than 1400 Da such that the ratio of said quantity to the quantity of peptides in the composition is less than 40%; the molecular weight and the quantity of peptides in the composition being determined by exclusion chromatography. The invention likewise relates to such a composition to be used as a drug. The invention further relates to such a composition to be used as a food supplement.
