Gelatin or partially hydrolyzed collagen (hereinafter, to denote the difference between gelatin and hydrolyzate of partially hydrolyzed collagen, gelatin will simply be referred to as non-hydrolyzed collagen). Gelatin is obtained by partial destruction of animal collagen by heat treatment (long cooking).
Collagen is one of the most common proteins in the human body, its mass fraction is 6% of body weight.
Collagen is present in almost all tissues of the body, it is the main structural protein that forms our body and provides strength to tissues, in fact, it holds or binds cells together.
In fact, the composition of these types of collagen is the same, but the size of the molecules is different (hydrolyzate up to 5000 a.m., in gelatin it is an order of magnitude or several orders of magnitude larger), which contributes to the easier absorption of collagen hydrolyzate. That is, gelatin needs to be completely digested by your food system, which necessitates a sufficient amount of food juices for this process, since gelatin is a rather heavy food to digest. The latter is possible if you consume gelatin (NOT hydrolyzed collagen) along with a small amount of tasty food, in order to cause a significant release of food juices and at the same time not use all the released food juice for tasty food.
Hydrolyzed collagen or gelatin is well absorbed from the digestive tract. You will not find statements that gelatin is poorly absorbed anywhere except in forums, while studies say the opposite (you just need to follow some points when using it, which is described below). The biological value of gelatin as a protein is low due to an inferior amino acid composition, but it is quite a good supplement to restore or maintain the health of cartilage tissue.
Investigating the absorption of this substance, scientists discovered an interesting fact: part of the collagen is absorbed in the form of oligopeptides (chains of amino acids), which can enter the bloodstream. Other studies have shown that collagen, taken by mouth, can restore cartilage integrity, strengthen ligaments, and relieve joint pain.
Exceptions for the possibility of self-digestion of gelatin (non-hydrolyzed collagen):
- age over 40-50 years (the amount of food juice may be largely insufficient for digestion, which in some cases can be solved by dividing the portion into 2-3 doses per day);
- insufficient acidity of the stomach caused by diseases (additional acidifiers can be used, but in practice it is easier to use a hydrolyzate);
An important feature of the reception in comparison with the low molecular weight collagen Peptan TM, presented in our range, is only that this product must be used only during a light meal. This is due to the fact that Peptan TM low molecular weight collagen is absorbed regardless of food intake, and regular gelatin still needs to be digested by the body in the stomach. And for this, a sufficient amount of food juices should stand out, since gelatin is a fairly heavy food. Therefore, first you eat something, the body begins to secrete juices for its digestion, then you already eat gelatin. You can simply pour one scoop of gelatin into your mouth and drink it with water or juice. Reception to repeat twice a day.
That is why for people of age it is desirable to use Peptan collagen, in most cases the body is no longer able to fully absorb complex foods, therefore the effect of taking ordinary gelatin is insignificant.
In bodybuilding and powerlifting, to strengthen bones, ligaments and joints, collagen in tablets or gelatin is recommended to be taken at a dose of 10 g per day (2 measuring cups) as a sports supplement , in 1 or 2 doses in a dry form, washed down with water, dissolved in water or making jelly . The additive is absolutely safe and has a completely natural origin (it is made from the bones and cartilage of animals by long cooking).
Gelatin is a completely natural product and belongs to proteins. It consists of 85-95% pure protein, the rest is mineral salts and water. Gelatin is a low-calorie product. When burning 1.0 gr. gelatin is formed 3.5 kcal, which is equal to 14.7 kJ.
