Collagen is a quality product that gives you 5,000 mg of collagen per scoop in the form of Peptan®. Peptan® is hydrolysed collagen of the highest possible quality. Collagen is a protein structure that sticks together very tightly. This means that it can be difficult for the body to break it down. The fact that the collagen is hydrolysed means that it is split into shorter segments. This processing also produces a powder that dissolves very easily in any liquid, both hot and cold.
Collagen is found naturally in high amounts in the body. Collagen is a form of protein that makes up about a third of all the protein in our bodies. Collagen is found in skin, hair, muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, gums, blood vessel walls and more. Because collagen is found in so many different tissues with different functions, there are also several forms of collagen, but the most common are 1-3. Collagen from Elexir Pharma contains collagen type I.
If you eat meat, the majority of the collagen you get from your diet comes from animals. However, collagen is difficult to digest, so to give the body the best opportunity for maximum absorption, long cooking is recommended. An even easier way is to use collagen in the form of supplements from Elexir Pharma which is already hydrolysed and thus already broken down into simpler components.
Our collagen powder is completely free of additives. You won't find any sweeteners, flavourings or artificial colours in this product which means you can mix it in whatever you like without spoiling the taste. Feel free to start with 1-2 scoops of collagen in any beverage.
