Discover the benefits of the different types of collagen and learn how they can boost your health and well-being.
The secret
Collagen is the protein in the body that keeps us young, agile, and healthy. However, from the age of 25, natural collagen degradation begins. With hydrolyzed collagen, you can specifically support your body – from the inside out. Learn more about the most important types of collagen and their unique benefits [1].

Collagen Type I – Skin and Bones
Collagen Type I accounts for about 90% of the body's total collagen and is critical for skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones. *
Collagen Type II – Joints
This type of collagen is primarily found in cartilage tissue.
Collagen Type III Skin and Vessels
Collagen Type III works closely with Type I and is well suited for skin and blood vessels.

Key to health and youth?
Support for your body. From the age of 25, the body's collagen production tends to decrease, which can affect the structure and elasticity of various tissues over the years [1]. With a daily dose of 15 g - 30 g (depending on age and needs), you can support your body's collagen balance and experience the power of the different collagen types.
Top 5 Questions About Hydrolyzed Collagen
How collagen works
Hydrolyzed collagen, also known as collagen hydrolysate, works by acting as a building block supplier for the body's own collagen. Through hydrolysis, collagen is broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids, which the body can more easily absorb and utilize [1].

Why does everyone want hydrolyzed collagen
Hydrolyzed collagen is particularly sought after because it has already been broken down into smaller peptides that the body can more easily absorb and utilize [1].

Why Collagen for Joints
Collagen peptides are a component of many connective tissues, including joints.
How much hydrolyzed collagen should I take daily?
The recommended daily dose is 10-30g (depending on age/needs). Studies have used a dosage of at least 10g per day as a common and well-researched amount to promote the absorption of collagen peptides [1],[2],[3]. You can simply dissolve the collagen powder in water, smoothies, or other beverages.
