What is collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and forms the foundation of skin, bones, tendons, and cartilage. It's essential for the strength and elasticity your body needs.
As we age, collagen production decreases, making your skin less supple and causing wrinkles. This can also make your joints feel less supple.
What is Solugel® collagen powder?
Solugel® is a special type of collagen peptides used by several brands.
It is a hydrolyzed collagen, which means the collagen has been broken down into small pieces (peptides) that your body can more easily absorb. (1) (2)
This specific collagen comes from cattle and consists of 99% pure collagen type I , the most abundant collagen in the human body.
These are the unique benefits of Solugel® collagen powder
But why should you choose Solugel® collagen over another collagen powder? I'm happy to explain.
These are the benefits:
1. Optimal amino acid profile
What makes Solugel® truly unique is its balanced amino acid profile, particularly the high concentrations of three key amino acids: glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline.
Solugel® contains 10 to 20 times more glycine and proline than many other proteins, providing your body with building blocks important for maintaining collagen-rich tissues. (3)
2. Sustainable and pure
Solugel® collagen is also sustainably produced using grass-fed cattle , ensuring a pure and responsible source.
In addition, it consists of 99% pure collagen , without unnecessary fillers or additives, which contributes to the high quality and effectiveness of the product.
3. User-friendly
Solugel® collagen has a neutral taste and dissolves easily in both hot and cold drinks, without creating annoying lumps. This makes it easy to take daily.
4. Gets absorbed quickly
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides like those in Solugel® are small enough to be quickly absorbed by the body. Research shows that these peptides are present in the blood plasma within 15 to 60 minutes of ingestion . (4)
This rapid absorption means that your body can quickly access the building blocks that are important for maintaining collagen-rich tissues such as skin, bones and joints.
Good to know : Rapid absorption is a common characteristic of hydrolyzed collagen peptides and therefore also applies to other products. Solugel® distinguishes itself through the combination of exceptionally high purity, a balanced amino acid profile, and sustainable sourcing from grass-fed cattle.
It is this unique mix that ensures that you not only get quickly absorbed peptides, but also a high-quality and responsible product.
How does Solugel® collagen powder work?
As I explained above, the cut pieces of collagen, the peptides, make them easily absorbed by your body. But what happens next?
Once absorbed into your bloodstream, your body uses these peptides as building blocks to create new collagen.
And you need that because:
- Collagen contributes to the maintenance of normal skin elasticity and firmness
- But also to the maintenance of normal bones and cartilage
- Collagen also helps maintain normal skin hydration
- And it plays a role in maintaining skin structure and the normal functioning of connective tissue
Because your body produces less collagen after the age of 25, supplementing with Solugel® can be a valuable support in this process.
Did you know that vitamin C also plays an important role in this? It helps your body form collagen. (5) It's often added to collagen supplements.
Good to know : A healthy lifestyle and a varied diet are always the foundation for good health. Supplements like Solugel® are a valuable addition, especially when collagen production decreases in cattle.
