Which Collagen Supplement Should You Use?

Our range of collagen supplements either contains hydrolysed or bioactive collagen peptides. It is important to choose the right supplement. Let's consider the differences between hydrolysed supplements and bioactive collagen peptides.

Health Nut Collagen Range

RESTORE COLLAGEN (contains Hydrolysed Collagen)

Short chains of amino acids derived from the simple enzymatic hydrolysis of collagen protein.

• A source of collagen amino acids for protein enrichment.
• A complete protein in the form of hydrolysed collagen that can be used to treat a variety of health concerns.
• Not specifically targeted to focus on a particular health benefit.
• An affordable alternative with fewer scientific studies on success associated with particular beauty or health and fitness goals. 

ACTIVE COLLAGEN (contains Bioactive Collagen Peptides®)

• Different from traditional Hydrolysed Collagen, it contains Bioactive Collagen Peptides that have been synthesized to include selected peptides that provide support for specific psychological benefits required for an active lifestyle.
• Contains specific peptides that help to prevent muscle loss by providing your muscles with the amino acids they need to stay healthy and strong.
• Decreases fat mass, increases lean body mass, and improves muscle strength when combined with resistance training.
• Helps you to maintain a healthy weight because it is satiating (it makes you feel fuller for longer).
• It represents a life science solution for everyday life that has been proven in scientific controlled studies.
• Due to its various technological properties, it is an ideal protein to be supplemented with other food ingredients.

Scientific Study Findings:

1. Several randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded studies demonstrated the efficacy and potential of lean body mass, fat mass, and muscle strength with a daily intake of 15 g in combination with resistance training.
2. 114 healthy, physically inactive men, aged 35-60 participated with the primary outcome to compare 15 g of supplementation with placebo.
3. Changes in body composition were measured by DXA scans. DXA represents the “Gold Standard” in body composition measurement.
4. The results of the study's primary endpoint revealed a statistically significant (p<0.05) increase in lean body mass after supplementation compared to placebo. 

VIBRANCE COLLAGEN (contains Bioactive Collagen Peptides®)

• Different from traditional Hydrolysed Collagen, it contains Bioactive Collagen Peptides that have been synthesized to include selected peptides that provide support for specific psychological benefits required to keep you looking youthful.
• It contains all the essential amino acids specifically formulated to treat targeted areas in the body, such as skin, hair, and nails. Bioactive Collagen Peptides optimized for beauty applications encourage firmer, smoother skin with fewer wrinkles.
• Specific peptides are recognized by the cells that produce collagen in the skin. This causes an increase in collagen production, which helps to replace lost collagen due to aging and environmental influences.
• These peptides also influence the skin’s collagen metabolism directly from the inside to increase skin moisture whilst delaying the formation of wrinkles.
• Has beneficial effects on the dermal extracellular matrix of the skin and can help to decrease cellulite.
• Proven effect, backed up by controlled scientific studies.

Scientific Study Findings:

1. A study with 69 women aged between 35 and 55 years revealed a significantly higher skin elasticity – up to 15 % – compared to the placebo treatment. This effect could be measured after just 4 weeks of treatment.
2. A second study with more than 100 women aged between 45 and 65 years shows that the oral administration of Vibrance (2.5 g/day) significantly reduces wrinkles after 4 weeks and leads to a significant higher skin procollagen concentration.
3. Placebo-controlled study with 105 women aged between 25 and 50 years shows that the daily oral intake of 2.5 g Vibrance significantly decreases the cellulite score.
4. As part of the study, changes in dermal density were investigated. When ultrasound scans of the skin of a participant in the placebo group were compared to the skin of a participant from the Vibrance group, the increase in elastin and collagen is visible.
