Collagen

Newtra offers a wide range of premium collagen powders from top brands like Great Lakes, Ancestral Supplements, and our very own product line. Collagen is derived from animal sources such as the connective tissues and bones of cows, pigs, or fish, making it a rich source of proteins that support the body’s natural collagen network.

Collagen: What is it?

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein family, primarily found in connective tissue, bone, tendons, and skin. It is one of the most abundant proteins in mammals. In dietary supplements, collagen is usually hydrolyzed as peptides—small protein fractions that are more easily processed by the body. This hydrolysis results in higher solubility and improved digestibility.

Properties and applications

Scientifically speaking, collagen peptides offer specific amino acid profiles—such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline—that are relevant to structural protein synthesis. Some formulations, for example, combine FORTIGEL®, a patented collagen peptide that has been studied for tendon and ligament support. Other variants, such as marine tripeptides, are distinguished by a particularly low molecular weight that may be more readily available in tissues.
