Proligen™ LMW Marine Collagen Peptides are low molecular weight peptides (<1 kDa) prepared from salmon skin through bio-enzymatic hydrolysis and membrane ultrafiltration. Unlike collagen of animal origin, collagen obtained from marine sources is more easily absorbed, has low molecular weight and is preferable due to low allergenicity and low number of contaminants. It has been shown to possess strong antiaging properties for skin leading to enhanced skin thickness, moisture retention, and antioxidative protection.
Proligen™ LMW Marine Collagen Peptides allows a low required dose for claims, and can be used broadly in functional foods, dietary supplements, and personal care products. It has an easy to work with taste and odor profile, and is also appropriate for use in clear beverages.
