RESEARCH

Scientifically Supported Collagen Ingredients

Collagen Australia Co. ingredients are scientifically researched and supported. Numerous clinical trials and research papers have reported the benefits of ingesting collagen peptide regarding skin, hair, nails, bone and joints.

Studies reported that taking collagen peptide regularly improves skin moisture level, smoothness and suppleness. It prevents the signs of ageing such as the formation of deep winkles and fine lines as well as well as UVB induced skin damage.

Collagen peptide also promotes joint health by helping to repair joint matrix degeneration and improving long term joint comfort and mobility. Research has shown collagen peptide to help to restore bone mineral density and support healthy bone metabolism.

Safety

Collagen has long been used by millions of people around the world in foods, cosmetics, personal care and medicine, indicating that collagen is a highly safe material – with no side effects. Numerous studies confirm it is considered to be a food with a high level of safety which makes it useful for long term use.

All Collagen Australia Co.’s ingredients are produced under International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Certified manufacturing facilities, carefully tested for heavy metals, pesticides and microbiological contaminants to ensure purity and safety. The environmentally-friendly production processes guarantee the highest degree of purity and product safety.

All of our ingredients are certified as GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) by WHO (World Health Organisation), tested for safety for human consumption.

Bioavailability

The smaller the molecular weight of the collagen, the better the bioavailability (faster and more absorbtion in the body). For example, research shows that supplementing with Type I hydrolysed fish collagen yields better bioavailability due to the smaller molecular weight compared to other higher molecular weight collagen sources. Hydrolysed fish collagen is absorbed at a higher level through the intestinal barrier into the bloodstream and carried throughout the body.

Amino-Acid Profile

Supplementing with hydrolysed collagen is believed to provide the body with the amino acids necessary to manufacture and support collagen. Collagen Australia Co.’s collagen ingredients contain a unique combination and ratio of amino acids compared to other low grade collagen peptides, most importantly glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. These amino acids are the main agents stimulating the regeneration of the cells present in skin, hair, nails, joints and bones.

Highly Soluble, Taste & Odour Free

Collagen Australia Co.’s high quality ingredients are highly soluble, taste and odour free and can consequently be easily added to beverages, food and cosmetic products.

GMO Free

All Collagen Australia Co. collagen and gelatine ingredients are free from genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Chemical Free

Collagen Australia Co. ingredients are extracted through a natural hydrolysis process using pure physical methods, without any trace of chemical residues.

Allergen Profile

Clinical trials were employed in order to evaluate the allergenicity of food-grade fish collagen. A randomised, double-blinded, placebo controlled oral challenge study, published by the Food and Chemical Toxicology Journal, reported that fish allergic patients should not develop any observable allergic reactions to hydrolysed fish collagen. These results can be explained by the fact that during the manufacturing process, allergens are removed through a carefully controlled washing procedure, resulting in a hydrolysed fish collagen free from allergens.
