Collagen protein is the protein of the moment. You'll find it in many supplements and beauty products. We at SANAS have also been researching this ingredient for some time and have come to the following conclusions:
Not all collagen is created equal
Collagen protein is offered as collagen peptides. These are essentially fragmented pieces of collagen protein, also called collagen peptides. Gelatin, the type used in gummy bears or Bavarian cream, is also a collagen peptide in this context. However, the absorption of these protein fragments varies considerably. The larger the fragments, the more difficult they are to absorb. For gelatin, this is significantly limited. That's why we consciously chose to use Peptan®, developed by Rousselot, one of the largest gelatin and collagen manufacturers in the world. Thanks to their extensive fragmentation of the source protein, they can guarantee higher absorption. The name Peptan therefore automatically stands for high quality.
Cartiplus also contains several other ingredients. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the proper functioning of cartilage, bones, blood vessels, skin, teeth, and gums. Green tea extract provides numerous antioxidants, and the raspberry-yuzu (a Japanese citrus fruit) aroma adds a delicious finishing touch.
Usage
Using collagen peptides is a maintenance process. You can't expect miracles after just one dose. A box of Cartiplus contains 30 ampoules, of which you take one per day. It's best to take this in the morning or before any activity that puts stress on the painful joint. You can expect the first effects after one month, and these will only become more pronounced with continued use.
