#SexyScience - Ok, we admit it. We're obsessed with Science; we're obsessed with Collagen. So, here we're looking at Collagen Molecules - and whether they are too big for the body to absorb.
Bear with us on this, darling - there's a bit to digest (pardon the pun).
Naturally occurring Collagen Molecules, in their most raw form, certainlyare too big for digestion and absorption. Fact.
Raw Molecules are actually so large in size that science refers to them as the ‘super molecule’ weighing in at a whopping 300,000 kDa or kilodaltons. And for a very long time there wasn’t much we could do about it.
Enter Japan.
Somewhere around 15+ years ago, the Japanese discovered and patented a process by which a very large collagen molecule could be enzymatically broken down (without damaging its chemical structure) into a very, very small collagen peptide.
Peptides, more commonly referred to as Hydrolysed Collagen are so small that they weigh somewhere between 2 - 5 kilodaltons (from 300,00) and are ultimately considered an extremely bioavailable component, which can be immediately absorbed and utilized by the body.
Collagen Peptides at this size are considered micro-fragments and are readily absorbed by the intestines, passed into the bloodstream and then quickly distributed throughout the body.
Once distributed, Collagen Peptides stimulate your fibroblast cells (responsible for 75% of collagen production in skin) and BAM, you have more collagen and elastin for your healthy skin, hair, nails, eye, bones and joints.
And that just happens to be exactly why our Miracle Collagen is the unique peptide size and shape it is - so that its absorbable and can go to work for you.
Our motto: Science, but make it Sexy.
Tell me, darling - did you read to the end?
