Collagen Peptides

What is Collagen Peptides?

Since ancient times, Peptan collagen peptides have been known to benefit human health. Nearly ten centuries ago, abbess and erudite Saint Hildegarde von Bingen, investigated animal tissue extracts and identified them to be beneficial in case of joint pain. The traditional Asian culture also recognizes Collagen as a cosmetic product, helping skin to remain firm and youthful, while ensuring a global anti-aging activity.

 

 

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a primary connective tissue; it represents close to 30 % of animal protein matter. collagen is a key protein in the body that ensures the cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of skin, cartilage and bone. There are different types of collagen, depending on the tissues from which it is derived.

 

 

What is Peptan?

Peptan® are Type 1 Collagen Peptides, the same collagen as that found in human bones and skin. Peptan® is a high purity natural bioactive product containing more than 97 % protein (on a dry weight basis), supplied in a form that can be easily used and digested by the human body, as shown by scientific analysis (Asghar and Henrickson, 1982 and Rousselot, 2007).

 

 

A high source of typical Amino-acids

Peptan® contains 18 amino-acids.

It is characterised by the predominance of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which represents around 50 % of the total amino-acid content. Glycine and proline concentration is 10 to 20 times higher than in other proteins. This very specific composition of amino-acids provides Peptan® with nutri-functional properties that cannot be found with other protein sources.

Biochemic Tissue Salt

What is Biochemic Tissue Salt?

Biochemic tissue salts (also known as Schuessler Cell Salts, cell salts, tissue salts, or mineral salts) are homeopathic preparations. The controversial ideas they are based on were developed by German doctor Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler (or Schüßler) (CE 1821 to CE 1898) who believed that the deficiency of these mineral salts causes diseases and published the results of his experiments in a German homeopathic journal in March 1873, leading to a list of 12 Biochemic cell salts that remain popular amongst those interested in Alternative medicine.  Although firmly within the homeopathy movement of his day, the modern definition of Homeopathy tends to exclude his concept of Homeopathic potency that, while very dilute, still retained small amounts of the original salt.

 

 

The Tissue Salts

The list of the twelve tissue salts promoted by Schuessler, in the numeric order most often associated with them, are tabulated along with their alternative names. Around the beginning of the twentieth century, Dr. Eli Jones and other doctors studied Schüßler's ideas and derived new ones; and by the end of that century Schüßler's name (in various forms of spelling) and list of twelve "tissue salts", often with many more added, were commonly found in health shops and alternative medicine books.
