COLLAGEN IN THE DETAIL
WHAT IS COLLAGEN
Collagen makes up 80 % of the total protein content in the human body. It is an important structural component that forms connective tissue and is an important component for health and beauty.
HYDROLYSED COLLAGEN
Hydrolyzed collagen is a natural protein with a protein content of approximately 98.5% (on a dry matter basis). It can be a useful addition to a balanced diet and supports various bodily functions in a natural way.
Several studies indicate that water-soluble hydrolyzed collagen is quickly absorbed through the intestinal wall after ingestion due to its comparatively low average molecular weight (approx. 2,000-5,000 Daltons) and is distributed throughout the body, including in connective tissue.
Hydrolyzed collagen can contribute to a healthy diet and is also used in innovative skin care concepts.
UNIQUE SOURCE OF AMINO ACIDS
The nutritional relevance of hydrolyzed collagen results from its special amino acid composition. Essential amino acids cannot be produced by the human body itself and must be supplied through food. Certain non-essential amino acids such as proline and glycine can also be produced in insufficient quantities under certain circumstances - for example during periods of increased stress or illness.
A diet rich in collagen can therefore contribute to the daily protein supply and be helpful in meeting the need for specific amino acids.
CollaSwiss Hydrolyzed Collagen contains 18 amino acids, including 8 of the 9 essential amino acids (valine, lysine, isoleucine, histidine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine and threonine). The following information is based on typical analysis values:
The proportion of glycine is around 30 %, proline around 12 % and hydroxyproline 10-12 %. These three amino acids together make up around 50 % of the total amino acid profile. As structural components, they contribute significantly to the formation of the body's own proteins - especially in connective tissue.
The special composition of amino acids gives CollaSwiss Hydrolysed Collagen valuable functional properties. It can help to support and maintain the natural structure and function of tissues and organs.
DEDICATION AND RESULTS
APPLICATIONS BY BENEFIT
General scientific studies suggest that a daily intake of around 10 grams of hydrolyzed collagen can help support the normal function of joints, bones and skin. Some studies also mention that regular consumption can stimulate the body's own collagen production.
JOINT HEALTH AND SPORT RECOVERY
Numerous international studies suggest that regular consumption of hydrolyzed collagen supports the normal function of joints and bones. There is evidence that collagen supplements may help to maintain mobility and counteract age-related degeneration.
SKINCARE
Young skin is mainly composed of collagen, which decreases with age and leads to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Several clinical studies inspire the use of Hydrolyzed Collagen as a supplement in anti-aging skin treatments.
BODY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Hydrolyzed collagen is a high-quality protein source that contains no cholesterol, sugar and almost no fat. For this reason, it is often used in weight loss products.
Proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamins are important components of the diet. According to current knowledge, however, high-protein diets are preferred as they reduce food intake due to the feeling of satiety.
HAIRCARE
Due to its close relationship with keratin, hydrolyzed collagen is an essential component of hair care.
Thanks to its “film-forming” property, it can significantly improve the shine, texture and manageability of the hair, especially if the hair has previously been treated with chemical products (e.g. perming, bleaching).
