What is Hydrolysed Collagen?

Hydrolysed collagen, commonly referred to as collagen peptides, comes from the bones, skin, and connective parts of animals.

Through a process called "hydrolysis", the collagen breaks down into smaller pieces called peptides. Peptides are easier for the body to absorb.

Supplements and cosmetics often contain it because it can provide substantial benefits to the body. 

The Science Behind Hydrolysed Collagen

Hydrolysis breaks large collagen molecules into smaller peptides. This increases the solubility of collagen and aids in better absorption of the protein by the body after consumption.

After being absorbed, these peptides can work on many areas of the body, such as the connective tissues that provide elasticity and the structure of the skin.

Krumbled Food's bioavailable collagen has over a 90% absorption rate alone and can be easily absorbed by the human body.

Benefits of Hydrolysed Collagen

Better Skin Health

Because it can increase skin elasticity and hydration, hydrolysed collagen is becoming a staple in skin care products.

Research shows collagen peptides may help lessen the appearance of ageing, by minimising wrinkles and dryness.

Collagen also helps your skin cells to keep renewing and repairing, which can help prevent wrinkles and dry, dull skin. By keeping your skin healthy from within, collagen improves the skin's appearance – think plump, glowing, smooth skin! 

Joint and Bone Support

Hydrolysed collagen may reduce pain and discomfort in joints by aiding the repair of joint matrix degeneration. It also increases bone density, helping to combat the deterioration that naturally comes with age.

Better Gut Health

Collagen also contributes to the integrity of the gut lining. The amino acids within collagen peptides are crucial for rebuilding tissues lining your digestive tract.

Improved gut health impacts skin clarity and blemish reduction, leading to healthier, more resilient skin.

How to Use Hydrolysed Collagen in Your Routine

In Your Morning Coffee or Tea

Adding a scoop to your morning coffee or tea is an easy way to incorporate hydrolysed collagen into your diet. It tastes delicious, has a smooth texture, and adds a great protein boost to kick start your morning.

A Protein Supplement

A collagen-based protein shake after exercise aids muscle healing and growth. The rich amino acid profile, especially arginine and glutamine, is beneficial for muscle repair and recovery.

In Cooking

Cooking using heat-stable hydrolysed collagen is ideal. Adding it to something like baked good is an easy way to add nutrients without affecting taste or texture.

Selecting a Hydrolysed Collagen Supplement
Source

I always prefer ethically sourced hydrolysed collagen like our Inner + Outer Beauty Collagen Peptides Powder. Products made from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine or wild-caught marine sources are more nutritious, ethical, and sustainable.

Type

Different collagen kinds suit different health situations. Did you know there are multiple types of collagen, all with their very own roles? Collagen type I & III are the most common found in the skin’s dermis and are best for skin, hair, and nails, while Type II is best for joints. Collagen bars are convenient and tasty as an on-the-go snack option, whilst other people might prefer the convenience of a collagen powder for at home use.

In summary

So whether you choose a delicious drink or snack bar, this potent age defying supplement is easy to use and has several health and wellbeing benefits!
