Great Lakes, Beef Gelatin, Unflavoured, 454g

Description

Gelatin is the purified protein derived by the selective hydrolysis of collagen from the skin, the connective tissue and/or bones of animals.  Great Lakes Gelatin provides the highest type of pure unflavoured edible gelatins.  Gelatin is a hot water soluble protein extracted from collagen.  Individual collagen monomeric proteins have molecular weights of between 95,000 and 125,000 Daltons. These proteins assemble into fibres which are massive aggregates and do not have defined molecular weights. To make gelatin, collagen rich materials (such as bovine hide) are cleaned and treated with dilute alkaline, or acid and heat to denature (untangle) the collagen into hot water-soluble proteins. The extract is purified and dried to form the gelatin powder. Essentially, gelatin is thermally denatured (melted) form of collagen that makes the proteins soluble in hot water. Each stage of the manufacturing process is rigorously controlled in modern laboratories to ensure purity and quality. The process of converting collagen into gelatin involves several cleansing and purification steps. The end result is an off white dry powder of the utmost purity.

With the same benefits as Collagen Hydrolysate such as supporting and building connective tissue.  Gelatin is great for use in regular and dietetic recipes, it is pure protein, Kosher, and has no MSG. Great Lakes Gelatin is a versatile cooking ingredient used in many gelling and thickening applications from deserts to puddings to sauces.

Great Lakes, Collagen Hydrolysate, Unflavoured, 454g

Description

Great Lakes Collagen Hydrolysate is a pure form of collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body. We naturally produce it, as well as ingest it through various food sources. It is a key component of connective tissue, bones, and skin. It provides structural support and elasticity. However, as we age, we begin to produce less collagen and our bodies suffer the effects of aging. Adding this Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate as a supplement to your diet has many added benefits, including support for strong healthy bones, improving digestion, combating wrinkles, reducing joint pain and inflammation, and supporting and balancing hormones.

Key Features : Contains protein of low molecular weight, providing quick absorption in digestive tract, Contains amino acids such as glycine, lysine & proline to help build and repair connective tissue, Hydrolyzed collagen is the same collagen naturally found in bones, skin & cartilage, Hydrolyzed collagen will not congeal, Collagen is important to nitrogen balance and may prevent cartilage damage and collagen loss.

Ingredients

Large 454gm Tub, Serving Size: 12g.

Great Lakes, Collagen Peptides, Quick Dissolve, 20 Stick Box

Description

Hydrolysed Collagen is unique in its amino acid structure because of its high amounts of glycine, lysine and proline, which are found in lower amounts in other protein food supplements. These particular amino acids are found to generate cell growth much quicker because the natural ability to produce supporting amounts of connective tissue diminishes after the age of 25. Hydrolysed Collagen is more easily digested because of its low molecular weight and is absorbed within 30 minutes. All of the amino acids collectively are beneficial to cell reproduction, but it is the distinctive spectrum of this product that impacts the metabolic pathways to healthy tissue.

How Does it Work?

Hydrolysed Collagen is beneficial in replacing the synovial fluids between the joints and secondly, to repair and build cartilage weakened by overuse through impact and stress. Our bodies are made up of 30% collagen of which 70% of these proteins are connective tissue made of collagen. Hydrolysed Collagen is the missing link in supplying amino acids like glycine, proline and lysine that are required by the body to build connective tissue to regulate cell growth. It will benefit hair, skin tissue, muscle, cartilage, ligaments and blood cell growth.

Hydrolysed collagen will provide the missing nutritional links for most dietary supplements. A nitrogen balance is maintained for the support of age related collagen loss and cartilage damage. It is an excellent product for those with a sedentary lifestyle who may suffer from repetitive joint pain or discomfort. Contains protein of low molecular weight, providing quick absorption in digestive tract. Contains amino acids such as glycine, lysine & proline to help build and repair connective tissue. Hydrolysed collagen is the same collagen naturally found in bones, skin & cartilage. Hydrolysed collagen will not congeal. Collagen is important to nitrogen balance and may prevent cartilage damage and collagen loss.

Hydrolysed Collagen differs from gelatin as it will dissolve in cold, warm, or hot liquids and will not congeal when chilled. This feature allows taking a high protein product in a convenient way that suits your needs.
