SWY Hydrolysed Collagen, 300 g

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, accounting for up to 80% of all proteins in the body. It is everywhere - in your bones, teeth, muscles, hair, and nails. It is also the main protein in the skin. The word collagen comes from the Greek word "kolla," which means glue. Collagen is the natural glue in the body that holds tissues and internal organs together and supports them. The body can produce collagen on its own, but after the age of 25, production begins to slow down, and the skin loses 1% of collagen each year.

As a result, the skin begins to age, wrinkles appear, hair loses its shine and becomes thinner, and nails become brittle. Collagen loss can also be accelerated by external factors such as pollution, smoking, diet, and photoaging (excessive sun exposure). UV rays stimulate enzymes that break down collagen. There is evidence that collagen loss can be reversed or at least slowed down through a healthy diet (especially by reducing sugar intake), avoiding risk factors, and excessive sun exposure. Proper skin care is also important, as it protects collagen in the skin while promoting the production of new collagen.

Types of Collagen

Depending on absorption, we distinguish between natural and hydrolyzed collagen. Natural collagen is found in animal skin, ligaments, and bones, and can be obtained from sources like beef broth or gelatin. However, since collagen in these foods is present in very small amounts and has a more complex structure (it consists of several amino acids that are tightly connected in an elongated peptide bond), it is difficult for the body to absorb. Hydrolyzed collagen is broken down into smaller particles (peptides) through an enzymatic process, allowing it to be absorbed by the body five times faster than natural collagen. There are 28 types of collagen, with types I, II, and III making up the majority (up to 80-90% of collagen):

• Type I is the most abundant type in the body and plays a key role in the health of skin, hair, and nails. This type of collagen is mainly obtained from fish.
• Type II plays an important role in joint and digestive health and can be found in cartilage, bones, and the intestinal lining. It is often derived from chicken.
• Type III is the second most abundant type and can be found in blood vessels, intestines, muscles, and the uterus. It is most commonly obtained from cattle.

SWY collagen consists of Naticol® and OmniCol™ collagen:

• Naticol® → hydrolyzed type I collagen, derived from fish and exceptionally pure.
• OmniCol™ → hydrolyzed type III collagen, derived from cattle, naturally obtained from pasture-raised cattle without added hormones.

SWY collagen also contains:

• Vitamin C - plays a key role in collagen synthesis, acts as an antioxidant, stimulates the immune system, and enhances nutrient absorption.
• Zinc - plays an important role in proper growth and development of the body, neurological functions (brain and sensory functions), wound healing, and the immune system. It must be consumed daily as the body cannot store it.
• Hyaluronic acid - one of the main components of connective tissue, keeps the skin hydrated, elastic, and firm.

We must not forget the excellent taste of the collagen - unlike most collagens on the market, SWY collagen does not have a fishy taste and is therefore delicious.
