What is Hydrolyzed Collagen?

Hydrolyzed collagen is of primary importance to the structural integrity and full long-term function of our body. It is derived from gelatin protein from free-range animals and the process of converting collagen into a hydrolyzed form is carried out by hydrolysis (breaking down) of the peptide bonds into smaller molecules. This allows its bioavailability to increase and absorption by the body to be much more efficient .

HOW IS HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN CREATED?

The final product (hydrolyzed collagen) is more bioavailable, and accordingly, it reaches the places where it is needed more quickly and efficiently. The body absorbs the hydrolyzed form of collagen much more quickly and easily. It has a unique amino acid structure, with a higher amino acid composition than non-hydrolyzed collagen.

The collagen molecule is extracted from cartilage and bone.

After heat treatment, these molecules turn into gelatin.

The gelatin molecule breaks down into smaller peptide chains.

WHAT HAPPENS TO COLLAGEN AS WE AGE?

With age, the body produces less and less collagen , and the existing collagen breaks down faster and faster. Also, over the years, collagen loses its quality.

Women experience a significant decrease in collagen production after menopause. It is normal for everyone to experience symptoms of a decrease in collagen production, a process that begins after the age of 25, but becomes more noticeable after the age of 40.
