Hydrolysed collagen peptides can be described as the broken-down form of collagen protein into amino acid chains using the process of hydrolysis. Hydrolysed collagen peptides are found in the form of powder, capsules or tablets, liquid supplement and protein bars.
However, consuming hydrolysed collagen peptides alone isn’t necessarily effective for supporting the protein’s synthesis in our body. Once it is transformed into amino acids in our digestive tract and absorbed into our blood stream, vitamin C helps accelerate production resulting in better synthesis.
Also, adding vitamin D3 and hyaluronic acid acid with hydrolysed collagen peptides provides supplementary benefits like supporting bone health, muscle function, joint lubrication etc.
MYOWellness Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen with Vitamin C, D3 and Hyaluronic acid is one of the most preferred collagen supplements by gym-goers, people with an active lifestyle and ageing population.
Besides providing the complete range of nutrients, its power form easily mixes with hot and cold water, making it an easy addition to your daily diet.
What do hydrolysed collagen peptides do?
Collagen is a naturally producing protein that aids in providing structure, support and strength to skin, muscles, bones and connective tissues. It accounts for 30% of our body’s protein content and plays a pivotal role in reducing friction between bones, aiding mobility and flexibility, keeping skin firm and elastic and more.
Our body has a total of 28 types of collagen, working independently or together to support different functions. However, studies have shown that with age (>25 years), collagen production in our body declines at 1% per year.
Hydrolysed collagen peptides help us balance that depletion by providing our body with amino acids for creating new collagen. Available types of hydrolysed collagen peptides are sourced from either plants or animals. And it is important to note that collagen is mainly derived from animal skin, bones and fish, leaving little or no room for effectiveness from plant-based ones.
Moreover, hydrolysed collagen peptides derived from bovine source (cows) are packed with essential collagen (Type I and III) that support skin, bones, hair and other organs. (Type I collagen comprises 90% of all collagen levels)
MYOWellness Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen with Vitamin C, D3 and Hyaluronic acid contains 100% bovine collagen for optimum results.
Is it okay to take hydrolyzed collagen every day?
Consuming raw collagen is hard to digest and poorly absorbed. On the other hand, hydrolysed collagen peptides are in broken-down form that can be digested easily and absorbed faster. As such collagen source is found in external form and undergoes the process of hydrolysis, it is smaller in size and dissolves easily in water.
Stick to the dose that's found on the label or your doctor's advice about the product. Taking more than recommended won't cause a quicker response, nor will it provide a superior response. The final result can differ from person to person based upon age, diet, activity level and general health status.
For maximum benefit from collagen, you can use it any time during the day. However, there is a good chance that you will accomplish more consistency with your routine if you use it in the morning or right after your workout.
Using collagen with a diet that contains sufficient protein and with adequate micronutrients will only enhance the advantage of using collagen for tissue repair and recovery.
Healthy lifestyle choices such as regular physical activity, adequate sleep and proper hydration will all enable your body to use its own natural ability to preserve skin elasticity, joint durability and overall structural integrity over an extended period of time, if you are using collagen.
