introduction | collagen (collagen) accounts for about 20% of the total protein of mammals and is also a very important protein in the human body. it mainly exists in connective tissue and does not have this protein in plant tissue. It has a strong ability to stretch and is the main component of the ligament. Collagen is also the main component of the extracellular matrix. It keeps the skin elastic, while the aging of collagen makes the skin wrinkle. Collagen is also the main component of the cornea of the eye, but it is composed of crystals. Like other proteins, collagen cannot be directly absorbed by the body and will be broken down into amino acids after oral administration. |
distribution composition | collagen is a fibrous protein of animals composed of about 18 kinds of amino acids such as proline, hydroxyproline, glycine, glutamic acid, etc., and a protein with 30% special structure in more than 5000 kinds of proteins that make up the human body. Especially in the skin, bones and tendons, there is a large amount of collagen, especially the 70% of the dermis in the skin is composed of collagen, which is the main component of the skin. Collagen is a shape formed by three twisted roots of various amino acids combined with polypeptide forms. The molecular weight is about 300000, and the shape is very large. |
structural characteristics | collagen is composed of constitutive amino acids, such as glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, alanine and glutamic acid, which is characterized by high hydroxyproline content, which is not common in other forms of proteins. Among them, collagen has a structure, and three polypeptide chains are twisted spirally around another polypeptide chain through hydrogen bonds. |
existing form | the largest organ of the human body is skin. collagen is one of the most important proteins in skin, accounting for about 70%. it mainly exists in the dermis of skin, supports, protects and maintains the elasticity and strength of skin, retains moisture in the dermis, moisturizes, maintains elasticity and firmness. In addition, collagen is also found in muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, organs, blood vessels, skin, intestinal lining and other connective tissues. Its main physiological function is to maintain the shape and structure of skin and tissues and organs and repair damage. |
collagen supplement | in order to increase the intake of type II collagen, you can eat more soup made from chicken skin, chicken, duck or turkey bones, or supplements containing type collagen. The best source of type III collagen is bovine muscle, bone, or type III collagen supplements. Type IV collagen is mainly supplemented by supplements. Type V collagen can be obtained through beef bone soup or supplements. |
Uses | Using fresh cowhide as raw material, after high-temperature degreasing treatment, the protein is separated by enzyme and advanced high-frequency auxiliary extraction technology, and the protein is separated by directional enzyme digestion, decolorization, deodorization, concentration, and drying to prepare products with high peptide content, most of which retain the activity of collagen peptides in the product, it has the characteristics of high activity, good absorption, good stability, high water solubility and high purity. It is mainly extracted from tilapia, cod fresh skin and fish scales by biological enzyme directional shearing technology. Mainly type I collagen, the product is rich in 19 amino acids, and the molecular weight is between 2000-5000D in length. |
