-
Structure: Collagen that has been broken down (hydrolyzed) into smaller, easily digestible particles called collagen peptides.
-
Absorption: Highly bioavailable, meaning it is readily absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive tract.
-
Purpose of Hydrolysis: To make the collagen more effective by allowing the body to use it more quickly as the building blocks for its own proteins.
-
Molecular Components: Supplies essential amino acids (like glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline) that are the foundation for the body’s natural collagen.
-
Mechanism in Body: The peptides signal the body’s own cells (fibroblasts) to produce new collagen and other vital components like elastin and hyaluronic acid.
