Everything You Need to Know About Collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. You can think of it as a glue that holds everything together. From the mid-20s our body’s collagen production decreases, hence the glue starts to hold less and less and this is why we experience wrinkling skin, joint pain, and weaker hair and nails. But don’t despair! Collamin is here to help.

What are the benefits of collagen?

By taking hydrolyzed collagen with a low molecular weight (such as Collamin) the body’s own collagen structures can be restored and supported. Scientific studies have shown that supplementing with collagen can reduce the symptoms associated with a lack of collagen including fine lines, wrinkles, inflammation, and stiff joints.

What is tripeptide collagen?

We like to think of tripeptide collagen as the jewel in the crown within the world of collagen. We are the first and only nutritional company in Europe to have integrated tripeptide collagen into our products.

But why is it so special? Thanks to its small size it is directly absorbed by the intestinal tract. This allows our body to process the collagen more quickly compared to regular hydrolyzed collagen peptides while providing faster-targeted results on the skin appearance, hair, and nail strength.
Important to note that when tripeptide collagen and collagen are combined, you can get the maximum benefit for your skin, hair, and nails.

What types of collagen are there in Collamin and from which source?

Collamin products contain type I and III collagen, which make up 90% of the collagen in the body. Even though Collamin products don’t contain type II collagen, types I and III equally benefit type II tissues in the body. Regardless of the type, collagen is always broken down into the same bioactive blocks in our digestive tract. Collagen’s most popular sources are bovine, porcine, and marine. The three of them are equally beneficial for the body. Collamin’s collagen comes from sustainable bovine and marine sources.

Upcycling

We care about creating a sustainable product. For this reason, we are proud to have integrated an upcycling method into our collagen sourcing.

The purpose of upcycling is to reduce waste and improve the efficiency of resource use.

We upcycle cow and fish body parts (hides and connective tissues) that otherwise would be wasted and turn them into a high-quality health product.

We use the purest raw materials and clean ingredients. All our products are free of lactose, gluten, and sugar.
