Collagen Peptide

Collagen peptide is the hydrolysed form of collagen, a fibrous protein present in the extracellular matrix of living cells. After hydrolysis the product loses its gelling ability and makes it soluble in cold water. Collagen peptide is also known as "collagen hydrolysate", "gelatin hydrolysate", "hydrolysed collagen".
It differs greatly from other proteins as it contains amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline in a concentration that is around 10-20 times higher than in other proteins. These amino acids play an important role in building fibrous tissues. An insufficient supply of these amino acids results in painful joints, brittle fingernails and hair. Many studies indicate that collagen peptide has a preventive and regenerative effect on bones, cartilage, tendon etc., collagen peptide also contains all the essential amino acids except tryptophan.
Benefits of using collagen peptide?
the amino acid composition of collagen peptide is almost similar to collagen in body. thus collagen peptide is a "customised" collagen building block.
It is a product derived from natural source raw material with no reported side effects. It does not react with drugs or other food or food ingredients.
Administration of collagen peptide stimulates the anabolic phase of cartilage matrix turnover. This brings about a phase of regeneration and stability in joint cartilage.
Applications of collagen peptide
collagen peptide finds application in healthcare, personal care and food products.
Collagen peptide as a functional food supplement for joint health and osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease. One of the root causes for osteoarthritis is the progressive destruction of particular cartilage.
