Gelatin and Collagen Hydrolysate are derived from collagen, the primary protein components of animal connective tissues such as bone, skin and tendon.
Gelatin is a high molecular weight polypeptide collagen. It is basically used as a gelling, thickening & stabilising agent. It has also found its way into technical products in the form of adhesives.
Collagen Hydrolysate , also marketed as Recogen® , is extracted by enzymatic hydrolysis. It has short-chain protein peptides with 18 proteinogenic amino acids. It’s extremely low molecular protein peptides content (approx. 3000 daltons) and excellent solubility enable it to be rapidly absorbed into the body system.
These amino acids aid in nourishing body tissues, cartilages, bones, tendons, ligaments, hair, nails and skin.
Recogen ® is also Halal certified by Singapore MUIS since 2006 .
