What is Hydrolysed Collagen?

Where does our hydrolysed collagen come from?

Hydrolysed collagen consists of small peptides with low molecular weight, extracted from native collagen. The quality of the final hydrolysed collagen is dependent on its average molecular size, which can vary based on the methodology used to extract it. Generally, collagen molecules are denatured and partially hydrolysed to form gelatin (100 kDa). Gelatin can then be decomposed into small peptides using specific proteins with cleavage activity (proteinase). The molecular weight distribution of collagen peptides usually span in the range 0.3 - 8 kDa.

Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® contains a unique blend of the highest quality hydrolysed collagen extracted from fish, rich in specific amino acids: glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are easily absorbed by the body. Collagen peptides have two main functions: firstly they provide a natural source of amino acids and secondly they are biologically active and stimulate collagen production in the dermis. Replenishing these amino acids is essential to maintaining the amount of collagen, key to a healthy and youthful skin.
