3. What is small molecule collagen?

Small-molecule collagen refers to collagen with a molecular weight of less than 2000 Daltons. It has strong biological activity and is a type of collagen that can be directly absorbed by the body without decomposition. The smaller the molecular weight of collagen, the higher the absorption rate. Collagen products with a molecular weight greater than 10,000 Daltons are not easily absorbed, but less than 3000 Daltons are basically completely absorbed.

4. Why did Dual-Col choose to use collagen peptides and collagen tripeptides?

Because collagen peptides and collagen tripeptides have a smaller molecular weight than ordinary collagen, they are easily absorbed and digested by the body.

Collagen:

Collagen is a macromolecular fiber hard protein with a relative molecular weight of up to 300,000 Daltons. It cannot be directly absorbed by the human body after being eaten. It needs to be digested and broken into small molecular peptides or free amino acids before it can be absorbed by the human body and exert its effect. The absorption rate is very low, only about 2.5%.

Collagen peptides and collagen tripeptides:

Collagen peptides and collagen tripeptides are small-molecule peptides formed after collagen is processed by artificial protease. The relative molecular mass is several hundred to several thousand. After being eaten by the human body, it can be effectively absorbed and utilised, and the absorption rate can reach 90% or more. Compared with collagen, it has higher efficacy.

5. How much collagen is recommended for daily intake?

A clinical study in 2019 showed that taking 2500-15,000 mg of hydrolyzed collagen peptides per day is safe and effective.

• A smaller daily dose of 2500mg could benefit joint pain, skin health, and hydration.√
• Increasing this dose to 5000mg per day has shown the potential to improve bone density.√
• Lastly, larger daily doses of 15,000mg of these peptides have mostly been used to improve muscle mass and body composition

6. What is the difference between collagen peptide and hydrolyzed collagen?

it’s the same. Hydrolyzed collagen is another name for collagen peptide.

7. What is the collagen mg contains of Dual-Col?

One bottle of Dual-Col collagen contains 60 compressed chewable candy tablets containing a total of 180,000 mg of collagen peptides and tripeptides. Each tablet has 3000mg of peptides and tripeptides. Two to four tablets per day containing 6000 -12,000 mg of peptides and tripeptides provides sufficient nutrients to the skin, and can also help tendons and articular cartilage.

8. Can the collagen of Dual-Col be absorbed by the body?

The collagen peptide and tripeptide molecules of Dual-Col are small in size, each with 2000 daltons and 280 daltons molecules, which are easily absorbed and digested by the human body.

*Dalton is a molecular measurement method*

9. Is Dual-Col suitable for vegetarians?

The collagen of this product is collected from deep-sea fish and extracted from the skin of the fish. This is a non-vegetarian ingredient.

10. Is Dual-Col collagen type 1, 2 or type 3?

Dual-Col contains type 1, 2 & 3.

*Type 1 and 3 collagen are suitable for hair, skin, nails and bones.

*Type 2 collagen, used for joint and cartilage support.

11. Why does the Dual-Col formula incorporate so many antioxidant and vitamin C fruit extracts?

Vitamin C cannot be lacking in the process of synthesizing protein or collagen in various parts of the body. https://askthescientists.com/qa/vitamin-c/

• Promotes antibody formation. The high concentration of vitamin C helps to reduce the cysteine in food protein, thereby synthesizing antibodies.
• Cysteine is one of the natural components that makes up glutathione.
• Cysteine is a naturally occurring amino acid.
• It maintains the activity of important sulfhydryl enzymes in the keratin production of skin proteins, and supplements sulfur groups to maintain the normal metabolism of the skin and regulates the underlying melanin produced by the pigment cells in the lowermost layer of the epidermis. It’s a very ideal natural whitening cosmetic. It can remove the melanin of the skin itself, changing the skin itself while making the skin whiter.
• It prevents the aging of organisms.

Collagen peptide is a component contained in the body and is suitable for long-term consumption, without dependency problems. Since the human body depletes collagen daily, it can be consumed regularly to maintain its consolidation.

22. How long will it take to see results?

A study published by Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that oral collagen peptide supplements can reduce the visible signs of skin aging. Studies have shown that the number of skin wrinkles has decreased, and skin moisture has also increased significantly. In terms of the time it takes to observe these results, the study found that the skin has improved very well in the 4th week, and more obvious results were found in the 12th week. In the clinical trial, wrinkles were reduced by 31.2%.
