How to distinguish true and false collagen

Many people usually have the habit of taking collagen. Currently, there are many types and manufacturers of collagen on the market, and each company claims that its collagen is the best. Therefore, it is very troublesome for people to choose and buy it, especially for inexperienced people. Faced with so many brands, they don’t know how to choose, and they don’t know whether it is real or fake. How to buy it with confidence and use it with peace of mind is the most concerned issue for everyone.

How to distinguish the authenticity of collagen?

1. There are quite a lot of collagen brands at present, such as oral liquid, collagen powder, soft capsules, etc. For example, when we choose to buy capsules, we can identify them in this way. First, prepare a piece of white paper, pour a small amount of collagen peptide powder or granules into the white paper, and then compare the color of the collagen peptide with the color of the white paper. The brighter the color and the closer it is to white paper, the purer and better the quality of the collagen.

2. The higher the purity, the better. Currently, there is a swarm of so-called collagen foods, beverages and skin care products on the market. Most of them are advertised as collagen products, but in fact they are just ordinary collagen. When you choose oral collagen products, you must choose pure collagen. Its beauty effect is more than 3 times that of ordinary collagen, and it is more conducive to human absorption and has better beauty effects.

3. To select the effective biological collagen of low-temperature extraction products, low-temperature extraction technology must be used to avoid the destruction of high-molecular collagen during the manufacturing process.

4. The smaller the molecular weight, the better. Molecular weight is a very critical factor when the human body absorbs collagen. Experts point out that ordinary collagen has a large molecular weight of about 300,000 to 500,000, and the most suitable molecular weight for human absorption is 2,000 to 4,000. Therefore, some cosmetics that do not contain decomposed collagen have difficulty passing through the surface of the skin, let alone reaching the dermis. Be especially discerning when choosing. For some oral nutritional supplements containing collagen, the better collagen products on the market all use low-temperature extraction technology to break down high-molecular collagen that is not easily absorbed by the human body, so as to achieve more effective absorption and utilization.
