COLLAGEN IN THE DETAIL
WHAT IS COLLAGEN
Collagen makes up 80 % of the total protein content in the human body. It’s a key structural component that forms the connective tissue and provides a vital ingredient for supporting health and beauty.
HYDROLYSED COLLAGEN
Hydrolysed Collagen is a natural protein containing 98.5 % protein (on a dry basis) which provides sustainable physiological benefits as they stimulate natural body functions.
Multiple studies confirm the benefits of consuming water-soluble Hydrolysed Collagen. After ingestion, the distribution to the connective tissue of the body through the intestinal wall is performed within a short time due to the relatively low average molecular weight (2000 – 5000 Daltons) of the Hydrolysed Collagen.
Hydrolysed Collagen is a beneficial element for healthy and balanced nutrition as well as for high-performance skin-care concepts.
UNIQUE SOURCE OF AMINO ACIDS
The nutritional and physiological relevance of Hydrolysed Collagen is based on its unique amino acid composition. Essential amino acids are not being synthesized by the human body and, therefore must be ingested directly by appropriate nutrition. Furthermore, some non-essential amino acids (e.g. proline and glycine) could not be produced sufficiently under certain circumstances (injury, disease, stress factors). The ingestion of a Collagen rich diet is hence most beneficial to assist in healthy living.
18 amino acids can be found in CollaSwiss Hydrolysed Collagen. These include 8 of the 9 essential amino acids (Valine, Lysine, Isoleucine, Histidine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, and Threonine). Predominantly, it contains 30% of glycine, 12% of proline, and 10-12% of hydroxyproline, which represent 50% of the contained amino acids and 1/3 of the total protein content in the human body.
This particular composition of amino acids provides CollaSwiss Hydrolysed Collagen with unrivaled functional properties, making it play a vital role in structure, protection and functionality activities for organs and tissues.
DEDICATION AND RESULTS
APPLICATIONS BY BENEFIT
General scientific studies have proven that the intake of 10 grams of hydrolyzed collagen per day satisfies an adult's daily needs, may contributing to the health of the joints, bones, and skin. Furthermore, generic scientific studies quote that it potentially reactivates and accelerates endogenous collagen production.
JOINT HEALTH AND SPORT RECOVERY
Numerous worldwide and re-known studies stipulate that the regular consumption of Collagen Peptides can be favorable to maintaining joint and bone health to prevent osteoarthritis and osteopenia.
SKINCARE
Hydrolysed Collagen boosts the outside beauty from within.
Young skin is composed mainly of collagen, which, with age, tends to diminish, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Several clinical studies support the clinic efficacy of Hydrolysed Collagen supplements during anti-aging skin treatments.
BODY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Hydrolysed Collagen is a high-quality source of protein, which does not contain cholesterol, sugar, and almost no fat. For this reason, it can play a vital role in weight reduction products.
Proteins, carbohydrates, fibers, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and vitamins are essential components of the diet. However, to current knowledge, high protein diets
are preferred since they reduce food consumption due to the feeling of fullness.
HAIRCARE
Due to its close affinity to keratin, Hydrolysed Collagen represents an essential component in hair care.
Thanks to its "film-forming" property, the hair's shine, structure, and manageability can significantly improve, especially when hair has been previously subjected to treatments with chemical preparations (e.g., perm, bleaching).
