Collagen – the hidden gem of our body. But did you know that there is not just one type of collagen, but a whole family, each of which plays a unique role in the body?
Our body is a complex of different tissues, and collagen is the building block that holds them together. It is found in the skin, joints, cartilage and bones, but not all types of collagen are the same. There are different types of collagen, and each type has its own specific function. Find out here which collagen types are contained in Collamin collagen products:
Type I collagen: This type is the champion among collagen types. As the most abundant type of collagen in the human body, type I plays a crucial role in various tissues such as tendons, ligaments, the skin and some of the muscles. Type I collagen plays a key role in wound healing and is even used in the dentin of teeth. In Collamin, this type helps to support the structural integrity of the skin and improve the strength of connective tissue.
Type III collagen: This type is often found together with type I, particularly in elastic tissues such as the skin, blood vessels and lungs. Much of the reticular fibers in the eye are also composed of type III collagen. Collamin utilizes the presence of type III collagen to promote skin elasticity and support tissue flexibility.
By providing a combination of type I and type III collagen, Collamin aims to provide comprehensive support to the body. These two types work together synergistically to improve the structural integrity, elasticity and strength of various tissues in the body, contributing to overall body health.
In addition to the variety of collagen types, Collamin collagen also excels because of its molecular weight. Collamin collagen peptides have a remarkably low molecular weight of 2000 daltons. Why is this important? It allows for greater bioavailability.
Why is low molecular weight important? Well, it has a lot to do with absorption and utilization in the body. Smaller molecules often have higher bioavailability. In terms of collagen, this means that low molecular weight peptides can be absorbed more efficiently by the body.
Bioavailability describes how well and how quickly a substance can be absorbed and used by the body. For collagen supplements such as Collamin, higher bioavailability means that the collagen peptides can be more easily absorbed through the intestine and then circulate in the bloodstream to be used where collagen is needed.
The low molecular weight of Collamin therefore enables improved bioavailability. These peptides can more easily reach various tissues, including the skin, joints and other areas of the body where collagen is needed for structural support and repair.
The low molecular weight of Collamin is therefore a key factor that characterizes its quality and effectiveness. This property enables the collagen preparation to optimally fulfill its support functions in the body.
In the world of collagen, tripeptide collagen is a real game changer. With a remarkably low molecular weight of just 500 Daltons, this special form of collagen sets new standards.
Why is this so special? Well, the small size of tripeptide collagen allows the body to process it much faster than conventional hydrolyzed collagen peptides. It consists of only three peptides, which makes it particularly easy to digest. This small number of peptides allows direct absorption in the intestine, enabling the body to utilize the collagen even faster and more completely. This efficiency means that Tripeptide Collagen can deliver faster improvements to skin, hair and nails. The rapid processing of tripeptide collagen in the body leads to more targeted results for skin appearance, hair growth and nail strength.
Overall, Tripeptide Collagen is an innovation that opens up a new dimension in the world of collagen supplements with its ultra-low molecular weight of 500 Daltons. Its targeted effect on skin, hair and nails makes it a promising tool for personal beauty care and strengthening.
With Natur’Beauty and Derm’Nutrition, Collamin relies on this innovative form of collagen to offer optimal results for your beauty and skincare needs.
Collamin is proud to be the first brand in Europe to incorporate this innovative form of collagen into its products.
