About
Specific collagen peptide fractions optimised for bioactive tripeptide content (Pro-Hyp, Gly-Pro-Hyp). Higher bioactivity than general hydrolysate. Brand-specific clinical data exists (Peptan, BioCell, VERISOL).
How it works (mechanism of action)
Hydrolysed di- and tripeptides (Pro-Hyp, Hyp-Gly) absorbed intact through intestinal epithelium and accumulate in cartilage and skin. Stimulate fibroblast and chondrocyte proliferation and collagen synthesis via TGF-beta signalling and collagen-specific receptor activation.
👥 Safety by Population
🚫 Contraindications & Warnings
Same as collagen hydrolysate. Histamine intolerance concern. Source allergen applies.
