Properties & Advantages
Properties
Hydrolysed collagen is a white odourless powder, neutral in taste and easily soluble in cold liquids. It is an emulsifier, foaming agent, texturiser and binder. It comprises the same raw material as gelatine without its gelling behaviour.
But the most important properties of hydrolysed collagen are its incomparable health and beauty aspects.
The health and beauty benefits of hydrolysed collagen have been commonly acknowledged recognised for ages. Now it has been scientifically proven that 10 grams of hydrolysed collagen per day meet the daily requirements of an adult to enjoy benefits on joint, bone and skin health. Hydrolysed collagen has become a key ingredient for the nutraceutical (functional foods, beverages, dietary supplements) and cosmetic industries.
A valuable source of protein, it is also particularly relevant for high protein diets and sports nutrition.
