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...

Now here’s some alarming statistics.  Worldwide, more than 20 million patients undergo groin hernia repair annually.(1) And In Australia,(2) Between the years 2000 and 2015, a total of 324 618 groin hernia repairs were performed on adult patients, 43% by a laparoscopic method. Approximately 40,000 Australians have their hernias surgically repaired every year An estimated 1 in 4 men and 1 in 50 women will require surgery for a hernia during their lifetime.   But my guess is you are not reading this because you’re interested in statistics. You’re probably reading this because you have a hernia yourself or you know someone...
