Body and Collagen
Human body is composed of 70% water and 18% protein. Collagen is an organism ingredient, and it is classified as protein. Tens of thousands ofprotein exist in human body. How much does collagen occupy among these? The answer is one-third of all protein. It can be easily understood how important collagen is for our body.
Beauty skin and Collagen
Much collagen exist in Bone,Tendon,and Skin. Collagen is the main component of dermis,which is the basement of skin. It has important role to provide elasticity, flexibility and moisture. Why does collagen has such the special functions. The answer is hidden in its unique amino acid composition.
Collagen contains high amounts of Proline and Hydroxyproline as shown in the right figure. These amino acids have: Excellent moisture holding ability. Hydroxyproline is well known as a specialamino acid existing only in collagen.Proline is also known as one of the major components of NMF (natural moisturizing factor),which is involved in the moisture of skin. It is not too much to say that there is no protein containing these amino acid so much.
Collagen peptide as a cosmetic material
Many kinds of materials derived from collagen are used for high safety. A collagen peptide is small molecular material obtained by hydrolyzation of collagen. Collagen peptide originated from fish s especially paid attention as material for skin care products in terms of low odor and color, water solubility compare to other collagen peptides.
