Collagen Hydrolysate - Wild Caught Fish - Strawberry - 500 grams

Want to discover the ultimate all-in-one supplement for your body? Then Collagen Hydrolysate with Natural Vitamin C may be for you! This powerful supplement contains the most abundant protein in our bodies, collagen, which makes up about 25% to 35% of the proteins in our connective tissue, skin, bones and tendons.

What makes collagen so special? Collagen has a unique composition of amino acids that specifically nourish our collagen-rich parts, such as our skin, hair and nails. In addition, the name "collagen" comes from the Greek word "colla," meaning "glue," because collagen acts as the "cellular glue" that holds all the connective tissue in our bodies together.

Collagen plays an important role in strengthening the strength, firmness and elasticity of our connective tissues, not only in our skin, but also in our bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, nails, teeth and organs, including our entire digestive system. The amino acids in collagen are the building blocks of these structures and help maintain a healthy body.

If you are looking for a supplement that can support your body in multiple ways, Collagen Hydrolysate with Natural Vitamin C is a great choice!

BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN FROM WILD-CAUGHT FISH:

• Powerful nutricosmetics that support the body's own collagen network
• Natural wild strawberry flavor sweetened with stevia for a delicious taste
• High-quality source of protein
• High concentration of amino acids glycine, lysine and proline
• Sustainable source of wild-caught fish from Europe
• Type I collagen 
• Contains natural vitamin C from Acerola to support collagen production
• Low molecular weight (3kDa) for rapid absorption and effectiveness
• Easily soluble in water, without gluten, soy or artificial additives.

NATURAL VITAMIN C

In addition to natural vitamin C, this formulation also contains the natural sweetener Stevia and has a light and fresh strawberry flavour. The collagen mixes easily with liquids and is quickly absorbed by the body due to its low molecular weight (3kDa). Within minutes, the body has specific amino acids and compounds it can use immediately!  

Collagen Hydrolysate provides the perfect support for skin, hair and nails. It therefore belongs to the category of nutricosmetics. However, collagen has a wide range of uses and supports numerous other body processes. The collagen from Paleo Powders contains specific type I collagen of sustainable European origin.

NUTRICOSMETICS

Nutricosmetics is a category of supplements that are specifically aimed at the external care of the body. These are usually products used for the skin, hair and nails. Nutricosmetics include various forms of natural food supplements, such as collagen and bone broth that you take. By combining collagen and bone broth with each other, you create a nutricosmetic stack that does its work from different angles: these supplements have a synergistic effect on each other. 1 + 1 = 3!

MAINTENANCE FOR THE BODY

Collagen is therefore not only a nutrient-cosmetic product but, as mentioned, a true all-in-one superstar for your body. Collagen that you ingest through food or supplements naturally increases your body's own collagen supply. The body can produce collagen itself, but from the age of 25 the production of this important protein decreases until the age of 50, when the body produces almost no collagen at all.

Maintaining good levels and an adequate daily intake of collagen is an interesting part of the nurturing diet that the body is used to in evolution.

WHY DO YOU NEED COLLAGEN?

1. All tissues in your body, including collagen, need input and sufficient nutrition to function optimally.
   
   
2. As you age, your body's ability to produce collagen declines.
   
   
3. Collagen is an important protein that is often lacking in the daily diet. Collagen and the specific amino acids balance the protein-amino acid intake. This is specifically due to the L-Methionine and Glycine ratios. Collagen is very rich in the latter.

UPGRADE YOURSELF FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Increasing your collagen intake is not limited to dietary supplements alone. For example, you can also make your own bone broth and stews, or eat stiffer cuts of meat instead of fillets. Using collagen hydrolysate dietary supplements is especially very practical and time-saving. Collagen hydrolysate from wild fish is an excellent choice for this purpose to quickly and easily supplement your daily diet with important amino acids.

GLYCINE, LYSINE & (HYDROXY)PROLINE

Even though collagen hydrolysate does not contain all the essential amino acids, it does contain three amino acids that are not found to the same extent in other protein sources. In particular, the high concentrations of glycine, proline and hydroxproline make collagen unique. These three amino acids are only found in small quantities in plant-based foods. Glycine, proline and hydroxyproline are the three most common amino acids in collagen. In the human body, these three amino acids are found in roughly the same proportions as collagen supplements.

KETO AND PALEO APPROVED

Collagen hydrolysate from wild fish is made from paleo-approved ingredients from paleo-responsible sources. Because collagen hydrolysate is almost pure protein with no sugars or fats, it fits almost any kind of diet, from keto to even low fat. Nothing is more nutritious and healthier than products of wild origin. Wild-caught fish from the pure parts of the Atlantic Ocean is no exception. Collagen hydrolysate, by the way, is very easily digested and absorbed quickly so if you experience digestive problems with other protein-rich food sources then trying collagen hydrolysate is a good choice.

100% EUROPEAN ORIGIN

Our collagen hydrolysate are made from wild caught fish from the Atlantic Ocean catchment area FAO 27 and production takes place only in Europe. This ensures that the quality of the product is controlled and guaranteed from start to finish. Responsibly sourcing our wild fish collagen in Europe, increases sustainability compared to sourcing from unreliable sources from China, for example. Paleo Powders marine collagen is thus the best choice in terms of quality, sustainability and environmental philosophy.

MADE FROM WILD SEA FISH

By naturally and gently hydrolyzing (chopping) collagen proteins from high-quality fish skins with enzymes, peptides with a low molecular weight of 3 kDa are created. The taste of the powder is very neutral making it an ideal ingredient for shakes, smoothies and even recipes. Due to the low molecular weight of the collagen particles, they are absorbed effectively and quickly. With a concentration of up to 95% protein per dose, this dietary supplement is as pure as it gets.

QUALITY IS IMPORTANT

Collagen powders do not all have the same quality. In 2020, the Clean Label Project analyzed 30 collagen products for the heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. The report showed that 100% of the collagen supplements tested had mercury levels within safe food standards. However, 34% contained low measurable concentrations. However, 37% tested positive for high concentrations of lead and 17% tested positive for high concentrations of cadmium.

Animal-friendly and sustainable purchasing solves many of these problems. The aforementioned report emphasizes that heavy metal contamination is a byproduct of concentrated animal feed and animal processing. Fortunately, we choose only European wild-caught marine fish in this product. Another factor that the report says contributes to heavy metal contamination is air pollution. This is unfortunately a fact of life in the modern world, but can be solved with proper processing technologies.

TESTED FOR HEAVY METALS

Quality control, product safety and transparency are very important to us. Therefore, we thoroughly screen every certificate of analysis, all new batches are double analyzed in an independent laboratory. This is how we ensure quality! The typical values of heavy metals in our marine fish collagen hydrolysate:

• Arseen (As) < 0,10 mg/kg = < 0,1 PPM
• Cadmium (Cd) < 0,01 mg/kg = < 0,01 PPM
• Lood (Pb) < 0,10 mg/kg = < 0,10 PPM
• Kwik (Hg) < 0,005 mg/kg = < 0,005 PPM 
  
  

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FISH COLLAGEN, BONE BROTH & KEFIR

PRIMAL BACKGROUND

Our hunter-gatherer ancestors, and even many generations after them, ate much more collagen than we do today. This was due to their high dependency on animal food. For the survival of our ancestors and the survival of our species, it was not a question of: whoever managed to catch an animal, used the booty from head to toe. Those who wanted to survive ate the whole animal, sinews, cartilage, skins and connective tissues, everything that was healthy; even the bones were consumed or made into tools/weapons. Sea or land animals or a combination of both: eating from nose to tail was the norm!

MIGRATION: MORE CARNIVOROUS FOOD

It is known that when the hunter-gatherers moved north from the equator, they could eat fewer plants. The colder it got, the fewer plants grew naturally. Since plant food decreases significantly with increasing latitude, this was compensated by animal food. Prehistoric hunter-gatherer groups generally obtained about 50% of their nutrition from animal sources. Modern hunter-gatherer societies get about 60% of their nutrition from animal sources.

NOSE-TO-TAIL CONCEPT

In prehistoric times, eating only lean muscle meat, without the fats, organs, glands and collagen tissues, would not have been enough to thrive, or even survive. A significant proportion of animal food sources would have provided nutrient-rich and collagen-rich tissues. In the modern world, we generally eat mostly lean muscle meat. We gave up eating nose-to-tail decades ago. Collagen-rich meat or tough meat or other animal parts are not preferred today over the more lean and tender meat.

So the difference between historical and modern daily collagen consumption is striking. Vegetarians and vegans tend to consume even less collagen than they already do. From a paleo perspective, which promotes the nose-to-tail eating concept, it is important to eat enough collagen.

FASCINATING COLLAGEN DYNAMICS

Collagen maintenance and quality depend not only on an adequate daily diet, but also on mechanical stress on the body, such as sports and exercise. Collagen can rapidly change its crystallinity in response to physical forces. For example, the crystallinity and arrangement of collagen molecules in the cartilage in your knees changes with every step you take. The changing mechanical load on each knee during a step causes the structural state of the collagen to change. The saying "Use it or lose it" applies not only to muscles and bones but also to collagen tissue. If you do not load your tissues sufficiently with the right stimuli, they lose quality and functionality! Many and varied movements are part of our human heritage. Fortunately, it is an integral part of a paleo lifestyle.

SYNERGY BETWEEN COLLAGEN & WATER

Water is another important paleolithic factor relevant to your collagen. After water, collagen is the most abundant substance in your body. In a natural state, 60% of the weight of collagen is water. Water is thus an integral part of collagen. Water molecules can attach themselves firmly to collagen and follow the helix shape neatly and orderly. The complex dynamics of water molecules in hydrated collagen tissue play an important role in determining its structural and functional properties. In other words, good hydration is important for your collagen. Therefore, take good care of the functioning of your mitochondria and drink enough pure water every day. Alongside exercise and diet, this should be at the top of everyone's list when it comes to collagen health and function.

HIERARCHY OF HEALTH FACTORS

Of course, sleep, earthing and sensible sunlight exposure are also critical factors supporting healthy collagen levels and collagen function throughout the body. Sleep provides a longer period of recovery, while sunlight provides red and near-infrared light, especially around sunrise and sunset. Earthing, barefoot contact with the earth, supplies the connective tissue matrix with electrons from the earth.

THE MOST COMMON PROTEIN

Did you know that there are many types of "most common" proteins in nature? Collagen, for example, is the most common protein in the animal kingdom. There are at least 16 types of collagen, but 80-90% of collagen in the body is of types I, II and III. Actin is the most abundant protein in most eukaryotic cells. It is highly conserved and participates in more protein-protein interactions than any other known protein. These properties make actin a critical player in many cellular functions. In the plant kingdom, we find RuBisCO (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase). It is considered the most abundant protein in the world because it is present in every plant that undergoes photosynthesis and molecular synthesis during the Calvin cycle. It has been calculated that rubisco makes up 20-25% of the soluble protein in leaves. It is produced at a rate of about 1000 kg/s on Earth.
