Collagen is a natural structural protein that represents almost 30% of the total body protein of mammals. It is the major component of skeletal and connective tissue and provides structural support. It is found throughout the body – in skin, muscle, tendon and bone. Fibres of collagen are woven together like threads in fabric to form a framework into which new cells can grow. In the skin, collagen provides texture, resiliency, and shape. From the age of 25, your body depletes collagen at 1.5% every year. For instance by the time you reach 45, you will have lost 30% of your body’s collagen. Taking Collagen Infusion Capsules helps to make up for this loss.

Losing collagen is a natural part of the ageing process. The signs of ageing are also accelerated with sun exposure, stress and smoking. Fresh collagen production can drop by up to 40% from smoking. With sunlight, the UV rays can damage the skin and stop the production of collagen.

The 100% collagen peptides are derived from bovine (cow). We consider bovine collagen to be the superior form of collagen. Bovine collagen proteins have the closest resemblance to human collagen in molecular structure, so the body recognises it and the bio-availability (absorption into the body) is better. In addition, fish (the other main source of collagen in the market) is a prevalent allergen, whereas bovine collagen is hypoallergenic.

Many people report improvements soon after beginning to take Puraz Raw Collagen. Individual results may vary, but generally customers report noticeable changes to their hair, nails and sleep within the first month and then changes to skin after 3-4 months consistent usage.

At Puraz, we source the most superior form of pure collagen from bovine. The collagen proteins in bovine have the closest resemblance to human collagen, meaning it’s easily absorbed into the body (bio-availability). Bovine collagen has the added bonus of being hypoallergenic, with no allergens commonly found in the alternative form of collagen, marine collagen.

During the special manufacturing process of our pure collagen, the collagen protein is made smaller by enzymes that ‘predigest’ the collagen into free amino acids and peptide fragments (smaller chains of amino acids that the body uses as building blocks). These small and low molecular weight pre-digested amino acids and peptides are rapidly absorbed through the walls of the intestines into the blood stream, providing the body with the material it needs to build structures and regulate the functions of cells.

RAW Collagen Powder is easy to take in a variety of ways. Being neutral in flavour means you can add one level scoop of your RAW Collagen Powder each day to almost anything! We recommend trying our RAW Collagen Powder in your morning coffee, daily smoothies or even baking.
