Hydrolyzed Collagen: What It Is and Why It Works
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body — it's the structural scaffolding that holds your skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue together. After the age of 25, your body's natural collagen production begins to decline at roughly 1–1.5% per year.
This is where collagen supplementation enters the picture. But not all collagen supplements are the same, and understanding the difference matters.
What Is Hydrolyzed Collagen?
Hydrolyzed collagen (also called collagen peptides or collagen hydrolysate) is collagen that has been broken down through a process called enzymatic hydrolysis. This process uses enzymes to cleave the large collagen protein molecules into much smaller peptide chains — typically 2,000 to 5,000 daltons in molecular weight.
Bovine vs. Marine Collagen
Wellnetix Pure Collagen is sourced from bovine (cattle) collagen, which is rich in Type I and Type III collagen. Marine collagen, sourced from fish, is predominantly Type I only.
