A strong amino acid profile

Collagen hydrolysate in the form of collagen powder contains high concentrations of the important amino acids glycine, lysine and proline. The unique ratios of these amino acids are characteristic of the collagen in our bodies. It is therefore important that we obtain them through our diet or supplementation. Supplementing with collagen hydrolysate can be an excellent choice for several reasons.

Collagen powder from sustainably sourced cod

There are several sources of collagen. Pork and bovine collagen are the most common. These forms are primarily sourced from industrial and intensive livestock farming. Ergomax takes a different approach! Because we only want to offer the best and highest-quality collagen, we choose collagen from wild-caught cod: naturally from sustainable sources and processed using a clean and careful method.

Neutral taste and rich in glycine

Cod collagen hydrolysate is a fine white collagen powder with a neutral taste. The product has undergone an additional processing step, allowing the powder to mix easily with liquids and be rapidly absorbed. Two tablespoons a day provide a convenient way to supplement your diet with these pure proteins. One of the amino acids found abundantly in collagen is glycine. Glycine is semi-essential. This means that the body does not naturally produce enough of it, making additional dietary intake of glycine necessary. The body produces approximately 3 grams per day but requires around 10 grams per day for basic processes.

Collagen in the body

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the world. Around 30% of all protein in the body is collagen. This so-called biopolymer is found throughout our connective tissue, from the skin and joints to the organs. Maintaining collagen properly is therefore very important. Collagen provides the body with strength, integrity and structure. Almost everyone may benefit from additional collagen intake, but certain groups, such as athletes and older adults, may have an even greater interest in maintaining an adequate intake.

More than just passive tissue

Collagen is generally thought of as merely passive tissue with mechanical properties, but this is not entirely accurate. Collagen also has dielectric and electrical conduction properties. As a result, it acts as a type of communication system that connects the entire body as a coherent whole. In addition, it plays a role in energy production.

Collagen: a liquid crystal?

Our bodies renew all their collagen approximately every six months. For strong, well-functioning collagen, it is important to consume the right nutrients, exercise appropriately and, above all, drink enough water. Collagen in the body is a form of matter with a structure somewhere between a solid crystal and a liquid. It is therefore also referred to as “liquid crystalline”, or a liquid crystal. It depends on water to function properly, making adequate hydration essential.
