The secret of collagen

In recent days, collagen ineffectiveness has been transmitted by madness. Including Lin Zhiying’s sale of Aibi Li’s collagen drinks was allegedly suspected of false propaganda and unlicensed business. "Collagen molecules are too large! The body cannot absorb them. Even after the collagen products enter the body, they will be converted into amino acids, and they will be excreted in large quantities. It will not be possible to synthesize new collagen..." The interpretation of collagen has been seen as a "scam." The entire industry is in an unprecedented crisis. Is collagen a victim of lies or being hyped? Does it have side effects? Now let's unveil the beautiful veil of collagen.

When Chinese consumers are still wondering whether collagen is effective or not, the Rousselot factory in southern France has systematically produced orders for batches of collagen. Their collagen products are collagen peptides and peptides that have been specially processed from collagen extracted from pig skin and fish skin. If collagen is viewed as three long ropes spirally twisted together, then collagen peptides and peptides are dismantled and cut into small segments of varying lengths. Its molecular weight is smaller than that of proteins and is greater than amino acids. Absorbed by the body. After the collagen peptides are taken into the blood, they will break the synthesis rhythm of the body's original collagen and urge the body to spontaneously accelerate the synthesis of new collagen. “Janne Prawitt explained that this conversion process, in 2005, two studies from Japan also provided authoritative evidence.

Collagen is a large-molecule protein. Its molecular weight is generally between 100,000 and 500,000. Its amino acid composition is unbalanced. This is an important reason why some people question its function. However, the molecular weight of collagen peptides is less than 10,000. A lot of research evidence shows that collagen peptides have better absorption and allergy is greatly reduced. Su Rina, a researcher in the Chinese food fermentation industry, pointed out that a large amount of research evidence shows that collagen peptides have a health-care effect on bones and skin.

At present, many companies do not distinguish between these basic connotations in production and branding. They confuse collagen with collagen peptides, causing market confusion and consumer confusion. As a result, people have misunderstood collagen.
