Collagen – the body’s building block

Collagen is the most important structural protein in the human body and a key component of the skin, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, bones and connective tissue. It plays a vital role in our body’s resilience, as it provides the tissues with stability, strength and elasticity. The body’s own collagen production naturally declines with age. Collagen metabolism is also influenced by factors such as intense physical exertion, stress, UV radiation and an unbalanced diet. An adequate supply of the necessary amino acids and other co-factors is therefore important for the body’s own collagen production.

However, not all collagen is the same: a distinction is made between different types of collagen depending on their structure and composition. Type I collagen, for example, is particularly common in the skin, bones, tendons and ligaments, whilst type II is found primarily in cartilage. Hydrolysed collagen, or collagen peptides, has already been broken down into smaller peptide chains and can therefore be absorbed and utilised particularly effectively.

Our collagen products are based on carefully selected raw materials and a high-quality formulation. Depending on the product, specific collagen peptides, amino acids and other natural nutrients are combined to provide optimal support for the skin, connective tissue, bones and joints.
