Hydrolysed Collagen Protein Peptides
Collagen is a significant element of the human body. About 30 % of our total body protein is collagen. Collagen is crucial for mobile joints, healthy muscles, strong ligaments and tendons, smooth skin, glossy hair and healthy nails. The ProteinLab collagen range is designed to stimulate the body's ability to produce collagen where this supplementation can support recovery.
Opti Collagen Peptides® are a composition of different specific peptides targeted for specific physiological advantages.
A slight difference in the hydrolysation process of the collagen derive a variation of peptides resulting in different physiological functionality. Each type is designed to target stimulation of the human cell types involved in collagen biosynthesis. Hydrolysis causes collagen to be broken down into peptides that are lower Molecular Weight (smaller) than its original form, in order to make it more easily digested and absorbed.
Per Serve quantity is optimal to stimulate the targeted physiological effect. We do not over allocate per serve quantity to unnecessarily boost the daily protein intake.
Therefore, you need less per serve than most other Collagen products. Opti Collagen Peptides® function is to aid the body in targeted recovery.
If simply protein intake is the goal, Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is a better option which offers a complete amino acid profile with a higher per serve quantity. Mixing both WPI and Opti Collagen Peptides® is a solution to cover both aspects of targeted body recovery and maximising daily protein intake.
Vitamin C is importantly added to Opti Collagen Peptides® as it’s necessary for normal connective tissue structure and function. It also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal structure of cartilage and bones and skin and is necessary for normal blood vessel structure and function including cell protection from free radical damage.
