Bone broths and drinks containing collagen have recently become a trend beverage that has acquired a reputation as the next ‘best thing’ for promoting health. Currently, there is plenty of excellent scientific evidence proving that the consumption of hydrolysed collagen supports the synthesis of native collagen in varying tissues, with the availability of key amino acids being a likely contributor to its effectiveness…… but what evidence exists about the active quantities or bioavailability of Amino Acids contained in bone broth? So just what is the answer to the Bone Broth Vs Collagen debate? Although there are many bone broth...

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...

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....

Its is now well recognised that ingesting hydrolysed collagen has great benefits for improving skin (1) hair (2) and nails (3).  You’ve probably also heard how it’s great for joint health and strengthening our bones (4) , ligaments and tendons as well (5), but more recently there are many new discoveries published about its tremendous holistic health benefits. Here are 10 health benefits of Hydrolysed Collagen you probably didn’t know about, and the scientific evidence behind them.    1. Collagen Prevents and repairs Leaky Gut, Ulcerative colitis and IBS. There are recent studies that support potential therapeutic roles for specific amino acids contained in Hydrolysed Collagen, including glutamic...
