Optimal performance and muscle recovery
Clinical studies show that a dosage of 15-20g per day is essential for active recovery, protecting muscles against damage, and reducing joint pain in athletes.
Clinical Data (Sports & Recovery)
Based on the clinical results of PB Leiner (SOLUGEL®) regarding physical activity, joint health, and performance.
SOLUGEL® Frequently Asked Questions
What are bioactive peptides?
Bioactive peptides are defined as peptides in a protein that have a beneficial effect on body functions and/or have a positive influence on human health, in addition to the known nutritional value. These peptides can regulate important body functions through their numerous activities, including a satiating effect, pain reduction, skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness, etc.
The bioactivity of collagen peptides refers to its activity in the cells, tissues, or in the body to promote potential health benefits proven with (pre)clinical studies. Changes in function and the incorporation of amino acids in the tissue can help to understand the mechanism.
SOLUGEL® collagen peptides are bioactive because their biological activity has been tested through clinical (human trials) or preclinical studies (in vitro biochemical assays, cell cultures, in vivo animal models).
What is the difference between gelatin and collagen peptides?
Gelatin and collagen peptides are both natural products that are extracted from collagen-rich materials. While gelatin is an ingredient that is typically used as a gelling agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, or water-binding agent for confectionery, dairy, desserts, and pharmaceutical applications, collagen peptides are predominantly consumed for their nutritional value and health benefits, as well as easy integration in food and beverages.
How are collagen peptides absorbed by the human body?
SOLUGEL® collagen peptides are obtained by breaking down proteins enzymatically into smaller peptides that can be easily absorbed by the human body. Collagen peptides are further hydrolyzed into smaller peptides or even free amino acids along the human digestive tract. They can also easily be absorbed in the intestine.
Tests have proven that SOLUGEL® collagen peptides reach the bloodstream within 15 minutes and are available to exert different functions in target tissues. The presence of peptides reached a maximum level after 1-2 hours and then decreased to one-half of the maximum level 4 hours after ingestion.
What type of collagen is SOLUGEL®?
SOLUGEL® mainly consists of collagen type I with some trace elements of collagen type III.
In scientific literature, about 28 different types of collagen are identified. In skin/hide, collagen type I is predominantly present. It is known that collagen type III is also present in most tissues containing type I collagen, however, it is only present in very low amounts compared to the type I collagen.
