What is Collagen
Collagen is a protein found in animals and made up of amino-acids. Since ancient times, collagen has been known to benefit human health. For centuries, people have been consuming collagen in the form of bone broth to support their joint and bone health and in more recent times, to promote healthier hair, skin and nails.
Collagen and its role in the human body
Collagen is the major protein in the connective tissues of the body. It holds all living tissues together and ensures the integrity, elasticity and regeneration of skin, cartilage and bones. It is the most abundant protein, representing almost 30 per cent of all human protein content.
Structure of collagen
Collagen is a triple helix of alpha-chains of amino acids which builds strong fibers used for the body’s structure.
Different Forms of Collagen
Collagen is a safe and natural ingredient which can be obtained in different grades. It can be found in products such as bone broth or gelatine based desserts.
The controlled breakdown of native collagen with the help of enzymes produces collagen peptides.
The solubility, absorption and digestibility vary between different grades of collagen.
