How to Buy Wholesale Hydrolyzed Collagen

Collagen Type

There are three main types of collagen found in abundance in the human body, and that can benefit our bodies when taken as supplements:

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from .

• Type I: the most abundant form, which makes up 80% of your skin&#;s dermis layer and 90% of your body&#;s overall collagen supply. It supports healthy joints, hair and nails and is often used in skin treatment products.
• Type II: found mainly in joints, making up 50% of cartilage protein. As such, this type of collagen is used for arthritis treatments and relieving other forms of joint pain and discomfort due to weakened cartilage.
• Type III: the second most common form, which is gradually replaced by Type I as we age. Type III is a more pliable collagen that&#;s also found in skin, hair and nails.

Therefore, if you are creating products or supplements that could benefit your customers&#; or patients&#; skin health, you should include hydrolyzed collagen types I and III. For cartilage health products, use Type II.

Animal Origin

Collagen is derived from the skin, bones and connective tissues of animals, mainly cows, pigs, chicken and fish. Each have their benefits, although bovine (cow) and marine (fish) are the most advantageous. Beef hydrolyzed collagen is rich in collagen types I and III which is great for promoting joint, hair and skin health. On the other hand, marine hydrolyzed collagen has 90% bioavailability &#; it absorbs into the body more easily than almost any other kind and is also great for skincare. Consider the types of collagen available in certain animals and how easily they&#;re circulated when taken.

Grass-Fed or Pasture-Raised

If you want to choose bovine collagen for your hydrolyzed collagen products, make sure it was derived from ethical farming operations. Look for &#;grass-fed&#; or &#;pasture-raised&#; labels. Custom Collagen sources all of our bovine collagen from grass-fed sources, which not only supports ethical farming but also ensures that the hydrolyzed collagen you receive is free of toxins like antibiotics and steroids, which are needed to support cows on a grain-based diet. This not only means your customers and patients receive a healthier product, but that the cattle get to live happier lives.

Purity

Quality collagen shouldn&#;t be a strange color, have a strong scent or contain artificial ingredients (unless they are natural sweeteners like vanilla, stevia or monk fruit). If the collagen has a dark yellow or brown color, it likely isn&#;t as pure as it should be. Additionally, if you open a product and find that it has a strong smell (particularly marine collagen), it is most likely less than premium quality.

Custom Formulation & Packaging Solutions

Throughout the R&D process on your product, you may come to the realization that you need a unique solution that can&#;t be found in standard hydrolyzed collagen products. With over seventy years of knowledge and experience in the collagen industry, Custom Collagen is able to provide bulk hydrolyzed collagen formulation and packaging solutions perfectly suited to our customers&#; specific needs. In this way, we partner with our customers to help manufacture the highest quality, healthiest solutions for their product concepts.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Though, unfortunately we lose about 1% of our body&#;s production of collagen from around the age of 30, resulting in a loss of the skin&#;s natural elasticity, less recovery from wrinkles as well as affect gut health. Over time, this natural loss of collagen can also have an effect on our muscle recovery, joints and even our gastrointestinal health.

Studies have shown that supplementing our diets with ingestible collagen can help it reach to where it&#;s needed in the body quickly and can play a role in preventing the effects of natural collagen loss. Here at The Healthy Chef, we offer two collagen products: Wild Caught Marine Collagen and Pure Grass Fed Collagen. Wondering what the similarities and differences are between both? Keep reading below.



1. Source

The main difference between both these products is where the collagen is derived from.

Wild Caught Marine Collagen is obtained from ethical + wild-caught fish, where the collagen is obtained from their skin + scales through a process of hydrolysation: using water to break down the collagen molecules into peptides.

Pure Collagen on the other hand is a bovine collagen, where the collagen is derived from the hides of grass fed cows ethically pasture-raised within Europe. Healthy Chef Pure Collagen is also 100% hydrolysed collagen peptides, and is also halal, kosher and suitable for those with fish allergies.

Both Wild Caught Marine Collagen and Pure Grass Fed Collagen are flavourless, odourless and can easily dissolved into both hot + cold liquids.

2. Types of Collagen

28 types of collagen have been found to be present within the human body, however there are 3 types that comprise 90% of our collagen, simply called Type I, II and III. 

Wild Caught Marine Collagen has high levels of Type I, which makes up close to 90% of it. It&#;s usually considered the best type for skin + beauty health, as it&#;s responsible for giving skin its structure. It&#;s also present in bones, tendons and connective tissue. Marine Collagen also contains Type II collagen, which is responsible for providing structure to our cartilage, and can therefore support joint health. Some studies have also found that Type II can assist with eye health, specifically hydration and prevention of dry eyes.

Pure Grass Fed Collagen also contains Type I, but differs from Marine Collagen in that it contains Type III collagen, which is the second most abundant type in the body after Type I. It&#;s found in reticular fibres, which form a grid-like mesh that supports and provides structure to connective tissue and organs that need to stretch like the intestines, muscle, bowel, uterus and blood vessels. Studies have also found that Type III collagen is a component of bones and it also works well with Type I collagen for its skin boosting properties, making Pure Collagen a great supplement for skin, gut, muscle and bone health.

3. Bioavailability

Both types of collagen have great absorption rates thanks to the process of breaking down the collagen. Marine Collagen are broken down into slightly smaller particles, with studies finding that it&#;s absorbed 1.5 times more efficiently than other types of collagen. 

Bovine collagen still has an excellent absorption rate, with 90% of peptides being absorbed just a few hours after consuming it. Regardless of your collagen choice, you can enjoy a great absorption rate as studies have shown that ingesting collagen allows it to be absorbed and used by the body so much more efficiently than simply applying it to skin.

Should I take both?

For your intake to reflect more of the spectrum of collagen our body uses, you can definitely take Wild Caught Marine Collagen and Pure Grass Fed Collagen together. This will ensure you are receiving the 3 types of collagen that are most abundant in our body. By covering these bases you&#;ll ensure you&#;re helping your skin, gut, muscle, bone and joint health.
