Benefits of collagen for your skin

Recent scientific studies point to the following benefits of collagen on the appearance of your skin:

• Maintains normal appearance of the skin.
• Reduces visible signs of ageing.
• Maintaining normal hydration of the skin.
• Maintain normal elasticity of the skin.
  

The 5 types of collagen in NoordeCode Complete Collagen

Collagen is a protein found in many different parts of the body. Collagen in skin is different from that in cartilage, blood vessels, or bones. The amino acid composition, structure, and function differ for each type of collagen. 

At least 26 types of collagen have been defined. The most common are:

Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen in the body, found mainly in skin, hair, nails, bones and ligaments.

Type II collagen is mainly found in cartilage between joints.

Type III collagen is common, along with type I in the skin and blood vessels.

Type IV collagen is crucial for the formation of basal membranes, a specific type of thin layer that separates cells from underlying structures.

Type V collagen is found in the skin and placenta and co-occurs with type I.

Type X collagen is part of the bone and cartilage structure.

Each type of collagen contains slightly different amino acids. So it is a good strategy to take different types of collagen if you want to support your own collagen production in the different areas.

Complete Collagen is a combination supplement containing collagen types I, II, III, V and X.

Complete Collagen's 3 collagen sources

Collagen varies not only in types, but also between animal species. Fish, egg and bovine are excellent sources of collagen. We have used them for Complete Collagen to get the most complete collagen profile possible, and because of their sustainable origin.

Only enzymatically produced collagen hydrolysate

Collagen is the longest protein found in the body. Long protein chains are difficult to digest. Hydrolysation improves digestibility by breaking down collagen into small pieces (peptides). This also makes collagen hydrolysate readily soluble in hot and cold liquids.

At NoordCode, we only use enzymatically produced collagen hydrolysate. This requires no heating or chemicals that could damage the protein.

Collagen from the skin of grass-fed cattle

The basis of NoordCode Complete Collagen is grass-fed bovine collagen hydrolysate. This collagen hydrolysate is also available separately as NoordCode Pure Collagen. The collagen is derived from the skin, bones, tendons and joints of grass-fed, European cattle.

Naticol® Collagen and type II collagen from sustainable fish

Fish has a different amino acid profile to bovine collagen, making it a good addition to your collagen intake. Naticol® is a pure collagen hydrolysate made from leftover fish skins after filleting. The fish skins come from sustainable, wild-caught fish and farmed fish to use as many different sources as possible. Naticol® thus takes a 'waste product' and turns it into a high-quality collagen supplement. Naticol® has a Friends of the Sea certificate, certification for fish, seafood from sustainable fisheries, and aquaculture.

Ovomet® collagen from eggshell membranes

The eggshell membrane is the thin membrane directly under the eggshell. This membrane contains collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitin. These substances are also common in our skin. The eggshell membrane is, therefore, an excellent way to obtain these substances. Ovomet® hydrolysed eggshell membrane is readily bioavailable, just like the bovine and fish collagen in NoordCode Complete Collagen. 

125 g Vitamin C from Acerola berries

The body uses vitamin C in the production of collagen. NoordCode Complete Collagen, therefore, contains 125 mg of vitamin C from acerola berries per serving (15 g). Acerola berries are a natural source of vitamin C.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, blood vessels, bones & cartilage, teeth & gums.

Furthermore, vitamin C provides the following benefits:

• Supports the normal function of the immune system.
• Gives more resistance during physical exertion (sports, training).
• Provides protection of cells against oxidative damage as an antioxidant.
• Supports normal psychological function and normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Activates your natural energy.
• Helps to reduce fatigue.
• Promotes absorption of iron from the diet.
• Helps regenerate the reduced form of vitamin E.
  
  

7 grams of glycine per serving

The amino acid glycine is one of the main components of collagen. Many people, therefore, take a collagen supplement as a natural source of glycine. NoordCode further enhances Complete Collagen with L-glycine. Each 15-gram serving provides 7 grams of glycine, of which 5 grams have been added.

Mix 1 scoop (15 g) into 100 or 200 mL liquid of choice.
For example, mix with water and some lemon juice.

NoordCode Complete Collagen has a slightly sweet-sour flavour from the acerola and glycine. Combine it with drinks or dishes where these flavours already occur or are a nice complement.

One package of NoordCode Complete Collagen contains 450 g, sufficient for 30 portions.

Store dry, cool, away from light and outside of reach of young children.
