GN Collagen Peptide Type 2 60 Capsules

The Peptan branded raw materials in GN Collagen Peptides offer specific benefits for joint and skin health compared to conventional gelatin, primarily due to their optimized bioavailability and the targeted composition of the collagen peptides.
Benefits for Joints:
* Reduced Joint Pain and Improved Joint Function: Clinical studies demonstrate that regular intake of Peptan collagen peptides can reduce joint pain and improve joint function. One study showed a significant reduction in joint discomfort, with 32% less pain and 44% less stiffness after 6 months.
* Promoted Cartilage and Bone Health: Peptan collagen peptides support the health of cartilage and bones and promote their maintenance. Collagen is a key component of articular cartilage and makes up approximately 90% of the organic material in bones.
* Regeneration and Protection: Peptan promotes the regeneration of joints, muscles, and connective tissue. The Peptan Type 2 IIm in GN Collagen Peptides contains bioactive collagen peptides as well as glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid, which promote joint lubrication and may have anti-inflammatory effects.
* Support during athletic activity: Collagen peptides can promote and accelerate recovery after exercise, reduce muscle soreness, and enhance athletic performance.
Benefits for the skin:
* Improved skin hydration and elasticity: Peptan collagen peptides can significantly improve skin hydration and elasticity. Studies have shown an increase in skin hydration after 8 weeks and an improvement in collagen density.
* Wrinkle reduction: Taking Peptan can reduce wrinkles and smooth and rejuvenate the appearance of the skin. One study showed a 31% reduction in collagen network fragmentation after 12 weeks.
* Strengthened hair and nails: Peptan collagen peptides contribute to healthier and stronger hair and nails.
Differences from conventional gelatin:
The main difference between Peptan collagen peptides and conventional gelatin lies in their processing and the associated bioavailability and bioactivity:
* Hydrolysis and bioavailability: Peptan collagen peptides are hydrolyzed, meaning they have been broken down into smaller peptides. These smaller molecules can be absorbed by the body more quickly and efficiently (maximum bioavailability of over 90%) because they are already "pre-digested." Conventional gelatin is only partially hydrolyzed, which makes absorption by the body more difficult.
* Targeted action: The bioactive collagen peptides in Peptan are specifically formulated to target the connective tissue structures in joints and skin and exert their effects there.
* Solubility and application: Peptan collagen peptides are tasteless and dissolve excellently in both cold and warm liquids without changing their consistency. Gelatin, on the other hand, forms a gel-like structure in water and is only soluble in warm or lukewarm water. This makes Peptan more versatile in its applications, for example, in beverages, smoothies, or when cooking and baking.
* Collagen types: GN Collagen Peptides contains Peptan collagen hydrolysate type 1 & type 3 (from bovine) and Colartix® hydrolyzed cartilage type 2. This provides a comprehensive supply of all three important collagen types relevant to different areas of the body (types I and III for skin and blood vessels, type II for cartilage and joints). Conventional gelatin also contains collagen, but not necessarily in this specific combination and optimized form.
In summary, the Peptan branded raw materials in GN Collagen Peptides, with their high bioavailability, targeted composition of collagen peptides, and scientifically proven effects, represent a superior option for supporting joint and skin health compared to conventional gelatin.

The recommended daily intake of GN Collagen Peptide Type 2 is 1 capsule. This should be swallowed whole with sufficient liquid.
The following micronutrients are particularly essential for supporting the body's own collagen production:
1. Vitamin C: It is the most important cofactor for collagen synthesis and contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, bones, and skin.
2. Copper: This trace element contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue and is involved in the cross-linking of collagen fibers.
3. Manganese: It contributes to normal connective tissue formation and supports the maintenance of normal bones.
4. Zinc: It contributes to normal protein synthesis and to the maintenance of normal skin and bones.

GN Collagen Peptide Type 2, in a 60-capsule container, is a dietary supplement in capsule form, primarily intended to be swallowed whole with plenty of liquid. Since it is not a loose powder, its use in hot drinks or for baking is unusual and, due to the small amount per capsule, not designed for these purposes. While collagen peptides are generally heat-stable and largely tasteless, their suitability for stirring into food or drinks refers to larger powder formulations, not to this capsule form, which is designed for precise and easy dosing in everyday life.

The combination of the three collagen types offers athletes comprehensive support for the entire musculoskeletal system: Type 1 strengthens tendons, ligaments, and bones; Type 2 is the main component of articular cartilage and acts as a shock absorber; while Type 3 supports the elasticity of tissues and muscles. Together, they promote the regeneration of joints and connective tissue, reduce exercise-related pain, and, thanks to their high amino acid content, support the maintenance and repair of muscle mass.
