Detailed Product Description

  Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen

I. Brief introduction

The fish collagen is extracted from fish scales and fish skins by modern multiple enzyme technology. Its protein content is above 90%, having 18 kinds amino acids, 7 kinds of which are essential for people. The products are of high protein content, low ash and heavy metal content, small molecular weight, easy absorption and utilization, high biological value, promoting absorption of vitamins and minerals. It also can accommodate physiological function of human as directed enzymolysis technology releases a lot of biologic peptides hidden in big molecular collagen.  

 Main characteristics:

1.      No fishy odor.Good mouthfeel. Completely soluble in water at room temperature.High transparence rate and solution is transparent.

2.      Lower molecular weight and easily absorbed by human  body.

3.High protein content with more than 90 percent.Lower ash and heavy metal content.

II. Major Applications

Food Additives

There is 18% bone collagen in human skeleton. Calcium incorporation in collagen tissue makes the bone stronger. Many studies have indicated that collagen has beneficial effect to the bone. Collagen can be absorbed readily by human skeleton, enhance calcium deposit to the bone. Therefore, collagen hydrolysate can be added into food for children and elderly who are in greater need of calcium. During last two decades, it has been realized that aluminum is harmful to human body. Too much aluminum in the body can influence metabolism of phosphorus and chromosome, and it can cause protein metabolism disorder, senile dull-witted neural obstacle, etc. Along with higher living standard, more and more people are having diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. Studies show that collagen hydrolysate can ameliorate blood circulation. When food is taken with collagen hydrolysate, and also pectin or wheat bran, triglyceride and cholesterol in blood can be gradually reduced. These food are beneficial to patients who are overweight or have artery sclerosis.

Cosmetics

Human skin is made up mainly by fibrous collagen. The content of fibrous collagen is up to 80%-85%. Collagen can supply nutrition to skin's growth and repair so that to keep the skin more elastic and moisturized, and to prevent skin aging. Two major factors to healthy skin are wrinkle resisting and moisture keeping. They are both correlated to collagen.

Skin Repairing:

Collagen is small peptide, can reach the layer under skin, nourish collagen of underskin, increase collagen activation, keep moisture in cells and integrality of fibrin structure, adjust the living environment of skin cell, improve the metabolism of skin tissue, prevent the formation of wrinkles and repair the existing wrinkle. With the progress of biotechnology in recent years, the medicinal injectable collagen hydrolysate is becoming more and more widely used in cosmetic surgery.

Moisture Keeping:

There are many polar amino, hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in collagen. These are hydrophilic and help to keep moisture, maintain water-oil balance, make skin moisturized and soft, and keep it youthful and from aging.

Hair Nourishing:

Hair is made of collagen. Collagen can control the thickness, elasticity and moisture of hair. When the collagen is lacking, hair will be dry rot, bifurcate and lackluster. If you want healthy hair, you should have supplement collagen. Collagen can form a thin film on hair surface and nourish the hair follicle organization to make the hair soft and shiny.

Breast Enlarging:

Breasts are formed by connective tissue and fatty tissue. Firm breasts are supported by connective tissue. Collagen is the main component of connective tissue. It interweaves the netted structure with amylase protein to provide certain mechanical intensity. This is the basis of the beautiful female body curve.

Weight Loss:

Burning fat, or fat metabolism, is one of the major ways to reduce weight. Collagen hydrolysate will extend the process of fat metabolism during which more energy is needed, thus more fat has to be burned. This, of course, result in more weight loss.
