Collagen Hydrolysate Powder Cherry – Sample

What exactly is collagen hydrolysate?

Collagen powder is on everyone's lips today. And rightly so: With a protein content of 30%, collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, and the most important structural component of bones, cartilage, teeth, tendons, ligaments, and skin. Connective tissue consists of collagenous proteins, which is why vessels are also essentially made of collagen.

Collagen is also the most unique protein in the body. Every third amino acid in the long amino acid chain is glycine. This is the smallest amino acid. It enables the collagen chain to twist. Another common motif in the amino acid sequence of collagen is glycine-proline-hydroxyproline. This sequence ensures the typical tensile strength and enormous resilience of collagen.

28 different types of collagen are known in the body. Type I and Type II collagen are the most important, as they occur, for example, in bones, teeth, fascia, tendons, ligaments, vessels, and cartilage. At the same time, these are the collagen types that normally dominate collagen products. This is also the case in our product.

Why collagen hydrolysate?

In hydrolysis, which gives collagen hydrolysate its name, the long and complex proteins are pre-digested and broken down into shorter protein chains, so-called peptides. Collagen peptides have experienced a real hype in recent years, as studies have repeatedly shown that they help the body stimulate the production of its own collagen.

It does not seem to matter from which sources the collagen originates, because all collagenous proteins contain many glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline peptides that show corresponding bioactivity.

Collagen Hydrolysate Powder from Grass-Fed Cattle

We have decided to add important micronutrients in optimal amounts and bioavailability to our collagen powder to effectively support the body's own collagen production. This requires enzymes that need, among other things, vitamin C (from acerola cherry), manganese, zinc, and copper to function. In addition, we add silicic acid as a silicon source to the product.

To set new quality standards, we source our collagen powder from cows raised on pasture. This ensures animal-friendly husbandry and allows the product to meet very high quality standards.
