A short YouTube clip by Robert Whitfield MD explaining that hydrolyzed collagen is more bioavailable because it is enzymatically/broken down into smaller peptides (short amino-acid chains), which the body can absorb more easily than intact collagen. The speaker's main recommendation is to choose hydrolyzed collagen to increase bioavailability.

The most bioavailable form of the body, the one the body can use the easiest is hydrolyzed collagen, which means it's broken down into smaller peptides, which are just smaller chains of amino acids, which, like I said, it's too large on its own to be easily absorbed. Once you break it down and make it smaller, then you can absorb it better. So hydrolyzed collagen is better. That's what you're looking for. That increases its bioavailability.
