New Meta-Analysis reveals Collagen effect on Cardiovascular diseases

New Meta-Analysis reveals Collagen effect on Cardiovascular diseases

Scientists at Cambridge University have just released the findings of a Meta-analysis on the effects of hydrolysed collagen peptide supplementation on cardiovascular markers.  The Meta-Analysis, view here, published online on 06 June 2022, is the first comprehensive review to systematically assess the effect of Hydrolysed Collagen (HC) on cardiovascular disease-related markers including body mass, fat mass, fat-free mass, LDL, HDL, triglyceride, total cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting blood sugar. There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that ingesting HC can effectively treat and prevent cardiovascular diseases. However, until now, there have been no comprehensive reviews to systematically assess the effect of...

Collagen for Liver Health: Prevention & Treatment

Collagen for Liver Health: Prevention & Treatment

Liver health is crucial for our overall well-being, but many people overlook it until serious problems arise. Did you know that collagen, a protein commonly known for its benefits to skin and joints, can also support liver health? Let’s explore how collagen can help prevent and treat liver diseases like fatty liver and cirrhosis. Shop Bovine Collagen Peptide Powder Is Collagen Good for Fatty Liver? Fatty liver disease, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is becoming increasingly common. It can lead to serious complications like liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Recent studies...

Study discovers a unique collagen peptide's effect on bone formation

Study discovers a unique collagen peptide's effect on bone formation

A new study presents scientific evidence that a unique collagen peptide called Peptan improves overall bone health by simultaneously targeting bone formation and bone resorption. Rousselot, the global manufacturer of gelatin and collagen peptides, has revealed the findings of a study investigating the effects of Peptan collagen peptides on bone metabolism. Using a pioneering clinical screening approach developed by the French National Institute for Agronomic Research (INRA) as part of the collaboration, the study set off to investigate the cellular mechanisms behind the overall benefits of collagen peptides on bone health. They announced the study's publication coincides with the introduction...

What happens when you combine Collagen with a resistance exercise program

What happens when you combine Collagen with a resistance exercise program

The increase in the prevalence of long-term joint injuries and osteoarthritis from sport participation is unquestionable and troubling. In light of this, recent scientific research has involved specific exercise protocols combined with the ingestion of Hydrolysed Collagen (HC), and examined the impact on joint functionality during activity and recovery. Scientists now believe that it is likely that exercise would aid the benefits of ingested HC due to the ‘mechano-transduction’ hypothesis, which proposes that mechanical loading of tendon tissue during exercise creates a signaling cascade in the tissue cells that increases production of matrix proteins and subsequent tendon size and strength....
