We have added a proven blend of digestive enzymes DigSEB which include Proteolytic Enzymes. Research demonstrates that enzymes promote the thorough break down of peptides in collagen hydrolysate [6], thereby increasing the concentration of amino acids that reach the intestinal wall and the bloodstream.
Collagen that is extracted from bovine bone is the most abundant source of collagen, and the collagen peptides that are isolated from this source typically consist of oligopeptides that are approximately <1000 Daltons (DA) [3]. It has been reported that peptide chains of this size are more bioactive than regular collagen molecules and polypeptides [3-5]. Di- and tripeptides are even more easily absorbed than oligopeptides [3-5]; therefore, we’ve added a digestive enzyme blend (DigSEB) to our Collagen Peptides Powder to break down the oligopeptides even further.
