What is Collagen?<\/b><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Collagen is the body\u2019s most important building block and it makes up approximately 30% of the proteins in our bodies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Collagen is the key structural protein that ensures the cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of all our connective tissues including skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bones. It is regarded as the substance that holds the whole body together and can be found in the bones, muscles, skin and tendons.
\nCollagen is strong and flexible and is the \u2018glue\u2019 that holds everything together. Collagen provides multidimensional benefits for skin, bones and joint health by regenerating the cells needed for maintaining an active lifestyle and enhanced overall health, strength and elasticity throughout the body.<\/div>\n

\n

As collagen degradation leads to wrinkles and other undesirable effects, it is particularly important to supplement collagen as we age. Therefore, collagen has been long used in Japan as a health & a beauty supplement in the form of drinks, tablets, capsules, gelatin, powder, and many other edible forms that can be also mixed with regular foods and drinks.<\/p>\n

Collagen is classified as a food supplement in Japan and it is widely consumed in Japan by men and women of all ages, especially those who look after their overall wellness, health and appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What are Collagen Peptides?<\/b><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Collagen peptides are small bioactive peptides obtained by enzymatically hydrolysis of collagen, in other words, the breaking down of the molecular bonds between individual collagen strands to peptides. Unlike gelatin, collagen peptides are soluble in cold liquids as well as hot.<\/p>\n

Collagen peptides contain the same amino acids as gelatin which is identical to the protein found in skin, nails, hair, bones, cartilage, and joints. Collagen peptides are also known as hydrolyzed collagen or collagen hydrolysate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sources of Collagen Peptide:<\/b><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
1) Animal Collagen<\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
The vast majority of collagen powders come from cows and chicken. Bovine collagen is found naturally in cow\u2019s skin, muscles, and bones and contains Type 1 and Type III collagen. Many supplements on the Japanese market will come from bovine sources. Bovine collagen is cheapest collagen. Then there\u2019s chicken collagen, which carries a wealth of Type II collagen from the bird\u2019s bones, cartilage, and tissues.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2) Marine Collagen<\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
Marine collagen mostly comes from fish, which contains Type I collagen. Fish collagen is smaller in size and is known for its higher absorbability in the body. NIZONA Collagen is fish collagen. Nizona Marine Collagen is very soluble, colorless, flavorless, and odorless.<\/div>\n

The most common types of collagen, especially in supplements, are types 1, 2 and 3:<\/b><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Type 1<\/b><\/i>\u00a0collagen is the most abundant and is used to repair damaged tissue and the growth of new tissue. For muscle repair, supplements containing type 1 collagen are a good place to start.<\/div>\n
Type 2\u00a0<\/i><\/b>collagen is usually found in the tissues between bones like cartilage. Therefore, it is associated heavily with joint function and health.<\/div>\n
Type 3\u00a0<\/b><\/i>collagen helps to give the skin its elastic properties and gives it a more youthful appearance. This type of collagen is beneficial for cardiovascular health.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even though different parts of the body are made of different types of collagen, which does not mean that consuming that same type of collagen will directly go to that specific part of the body. Additionally, many collagen supplements that contain Type 2 are made out of chicken sternum (cartilage).<\/b><\/div>\n
