Discover the power of our brand new Collagen Peptides Powder at Naturecan today! With added Vitamin C to contribute to normal collagen formation (1), collagen is an important protein found in our muscles, bones and joints. Our collagen levels decline as we age, but have no fear, our collagen peptides are here! 

What are collagen peptides? Collagen peptides are a form of collagen protein that has been hydrolysed, meaning it has been broken down into smaller peptides. These peptides may be easier for the body to absorb and utilise. 

Introducing VERISOL®, the cutting-edge bioactive collagen peptide (BCP) that has undergone rigorous placebo-controlled trials [14–16] to reveal some skin-transforming effects. Crafted with precision, VERISOL® contains a unique blend of specific collagen peptides, each with an average molecular weight of 2.0 kDa. They are optimised to be supportive of the human cell types involved in collagen biosynthesis.

Our collagen peptides are type I, II and IV.

Type I collagen is the most abundant in the body, and is essential for skin, hair, and nail health. However, as we enter our twenties, the natural levels of type I collagen in our bodies begin to decline.

Type II collagen is the foundation of connective tissue, and is composed of long chains of identical amino acids, tightly woven together to create a resilient network of fibres. This unique structure is responsible for providing both strength and elasticity to cartilage, making it essential and designed to handle the mechanical strain and effectively mitigate the impact of shocks on the body’s tissues.

Type IV collagen is the key building block present in the layers of your skin. This remarkable collagen variant takes form as a delicate sheet, acting as the primary and essential component of the basement membrane.

Our collagen peptides powder contains three scientifically supported peptides, along with Vitamin C, Zinc and Copper to ensure you feel your best. 

Although research into Collagen Peptides powder is still in its infancy, early studies into TENDOFORTE®, FORTIGEL® and VERISOL® (the three peptides within our collagen peptides powder) are extremely promising. 

1. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin.
2. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.
3. Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue. 

• TENDOFORTE® is enriched with bioactive collagen peptides that target and support the strength, stability, and elasticity of your ligaments and tendons.
• FORTIGEL® is a specially designed blend of collagen peptides that have been optimised to nourish and accumulate in the articular cartilage, providing essential nutrients for its health and functionality.
• VERISOL® contains unique collagen peptides that have been specifically formulated to enhance skin elasticity, improve its structure, and promote firmness, leading to a more youthful and vibrant appearance.

Technology explained

Pre-clinical trials indicate that TENDOFORTE® collagen peptides have a positive effect on the health and quality of ligaments and tendons, especially when combined with regular physical activity. Better yet, the risk of injury decreases considerably, while flexibility improves. Yet, the sample size was only up to 20 people, so more studies are needed to support this finding too. 

VERISOL® collagen peptides are an important component for supporting skin, influencing the skin’s collagen metabolism directly from the inside. This increases the skin's moisture and could potentially delay the formation of wrinkles. One study found that women aged between 35-55 taking VERISOL® regularly, had significantly higher skin elasticity compared to a placebo treatment, and this effect could be measured just after 4 weeks of treatment. However, the study was based on a sample size of 69 women, with only a short amount of time conducting the experiment.   

Further studies indicate that FORTIGEL® may contribute to the regeneration of joint cartilage by acting directly on the body’s cells. FORTIGEL® is composed of bioactive collagen peptides, developed to enhance the maintenance of joint cartilage health, which could help to relieve joint pain and contribute to regeneration. However, the study conducted was based on patients with joint issues, instead of comparing with healthy populations too. 

Our collagen peptides provide the foundation, but we don't stop there. We've carefully selected essential micronutrients, including vitamin C, zinc and copper. 

Zinc 

Did you know? In a 2008 study, Men's zinc intake declines with age, and a staggering 66% of individuals aged 35-50 fall short of the recommended daily intake. Even women, with lower zinc requirements, still lack adequate intake by 30%. And for athletes with elevated nutritional needs, suboptimal zinc supply is even more common. With our formula, zinc is known to contribute to the maintenance of normal skin (2), hair (4), and nails (5).

4. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.

5. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal nails. 

Vitamin C 

Collagen formation is crucial for the health of your cartilage, bones, and skin. That’s why we’ve included this vital micronutrient in our formulation as vitamin c supports normal collagen for the normal function of the skin (1), teeth (6), bones (7) and cartilage (8). 

A scientific opinion from EFSA states that insufficient vitamin C levels may lead to decreased elasticity in your skin, bones, and cartilage.

While it's true that we typically soak up enough vitamin C on average, it's important to note that this water-soluble vitamin has a short half-life of only 13 hours. This means that without regular intake, even with an initially adequate supply, there can be periods of deficiency. Moreover, activities like sports and infections significantly increase the body's demand for vitamin C.

6. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of teeth.

7. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones.

8. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage.

Copper

Copper plays a vital role, as it supports and maintains normal connective tissues (9). While the average intake of copper meets the recommended daily intake, physically active individuals and those who engage in regular exercise, have increased requirements.

This is partly due to the higher loss of minerals through sweat.⁴ Unfortunately, previous studies did not precisely assess copper status, making it challenging to determine the exact supply levels. To address this concern, our Naturecan Collagen Peptides include a carefully balanced amount of copper. 

9. Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues. 

Collagen peptides are suitable for a wide range of individuals, including ageing individuals, fitness enthusiasts, people looking to support skin, bones and tissues, beauty-conscious individuals, and individuals with specific dietary needs. Always consult with a healthcare professional before taking any supplementation.

Collagen peptides are typically available in powder form, and you can mix them into various beverages or foods. They are often flavourless and dissolve easily, making them convenient to incorporate into your daily routine.

Collagen peptides are generally considered safe for most people when taken as directed. However, some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort, such as bloating or upset stomach. If you have any specific health concerns or are currently taking medications, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider before adding any new supplements to your routine. They can provide personalised guidance based on your individual circumstances.

Collagen peptides can be beneficial for individuals of various ages. While they are often sought after for their potential effects, younger individuals can also benefit from collagen.. As always, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially for children.

Hydrolysed collagen and collagen peptides are terms that are often used interchangeably, as they refer to the same product. Both hydrolysed collagen and collagen peptides are derived from collagen, but they undergo a specific process called hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis is a process that breaks down collagen protein into smaller peptide molecules. These smaller peptides are easier for the body to absorb and utilise compared to larger collagen protein strands. The hydrolysis process involves using enzymes or heat to break the collagen protein into peptides.
So, to summarise, hydrolysed collagen and collagen peptides are the same thing. They are collagen proteins that have been broken down into smaller peptides, making them potentially easier for the body to digest and absorb.
