WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COLLAGEN IS CONSUMED?
Contrary to popular understanding, collagen does not remain in its complex original form and is broken down into its amino acid building blocks by digestion. To restore the complex triple-helix form again, additional ingredients are required. Sufficient Vitamin C, Zinc, Sulphur and Manganese are needed to rebuild the collagen structure. Without additional fortification of these vitamins and minerals, the collagen being ingested cannot fulfill its promise of collagen replenishment and the benefits associated with it. In our professional view, at the most basic level, when collagen peptides are consumed, they serve as building blocks for other proteins or collagen production. You cannot guide the collagen where to go in your body. As we ingest it, it goes into a pool of amino acids, and our bodies are intelligent enough to decide where it should go. For example, if a wound needs healing, then that healing is prioritized. If skin elasticity or joint health needs priority, then it is where it will go. This is why people experience different benefits from collagen supplementation. Our research has shown that 10+ grams of collagen is needed for sufficient collagen supplementation.
