    Technical Details & Test Data

    Research Study
    • In 2011, the research group of McAlindon et al. demonstrated in a clinically controlled study using MRI technology (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) that a collagen hydrolyzate with short-chain collagen peptides not only inhibits the degeneration of articular cartilage, but can also stimulate its regeneration.
    • In 2015, a study by the research group of G. Schlippe et al. published about the improvement of skin physiology in connection with the oral intake of collagen hydrolyzate. The clinical dermatological tests showed that absorption over a longer period (>3 months) significantly improves elasticity, moisture and skin roughness.
