Collagen is an essential protein found in the body. Collagen is composed of amino acids which can be broken down into two types: hydroxyproline and glycine. Hydroxyproline helps to form collagen fibres, which are found in connective tissues such as skin, cartilage and ligaments. Glycine forms collagen molecules that help to create flexible structures such as hair, nails and skin cells.
Hydrolysed Collagen is a type of collagen that has been broken down into smaller peptide chains by hydrolysis. This makes it easier for the body to absorb and use it.
Hydrolysed collagen has many benefits for your skin. It helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, it also improves the elasticity of your skin by boosting the production of collagen which is responsible for tissue repair.
