GelcoPEP®CHD is a collagen peptide with a molecular weight below 5000 Da. It is precisely the size of the protein fragment that ensures absorption by the body (about 90%) through the intestinal tract, easily reaching the bloodstream. The body's ability to synthesize collagen depends on several factors, including vitamin and mineral availability, as well as the organism’s need to synthesize that specific type of collagen.
Rich in proline, hydroxyproline, glycine, and glutamic acid, GelcoPEP® is optimal for health-related food and supplement production.
GelcoPEP® CHD’s high density makes it suitable for applications in powdered products, including, without limitation, food supplements, sachets, capsules, cereal bars, wine/beer clarification products, and protein bars. GelcoPEP® CHD is a type I collagen, the most common type in the human and animal body, present in bones, tendons, and skin.
