Application of collagen powder in health products

Since the Japanese scholar Oshima confirmed that collagen has the effect of suppressing blood pressure in 1979, there have been many studies showing that collagen has many physiological functions. Especially recent studies have shown that collagen can maximize the various types of collagen. Features. Summarize its nutrition and physiological functions as follows:

(1) Protein nutrition effect: its digestion and absorption rate is almost 100%.

(2) Protect gastric mucosa and anti-ulcer effect.

In the digestive tract and gastric mucosal damage can cause gastric bleeding, donkey-hide gelatin has attracted people's attention due to its effects of reducing gastric mucosal blood flow, promoting blood circulation and blood coagulation. A large number of experiments have proved that collagen has the effect of protecting the gastric mucosa. In addition, the researchers also compared the protective effects of cow's milk and collagen on the gastric mucosa, and found that the latter is much better than the former.

(3) Inhibition of blood pressure rise:

It has been confirmed that there are polypeptides that inhibit ACE converting enzyme in collagen peptides, and ACE is the main substance in blood vessels that causes blood pressure to rise. Experiments on rats with hypertension (SHR) showed that the increase in blood pressure of the group that ingested collagen was significantly suppressed.

(4) Promoting bone formation:

The collagen family is an indispensable organic matter for the body and plays an extremely important role in a variety of life activities. Bone tissue is composed of 1/3 organic matter and 2/3 inorganic matter. Collagen occupies 80% to 90% of organic components. It is very important for maintaining the integrity of bone structure and bone biomechanical properties.

Ingestion of collagen can promote bone formation and enhance the collagen structure under low calcium levels, thereby increasing bone strength, that is, to prevent osteoporosis; collagen can also be used as a metabolism enhancer to promote collagen biosynthesis in organisms , Improve the aging and function decline of biological tissues caused by aging. Collagen also has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on collagen diseases such as arthritis. Collagen is combined with calcium and vitamins to make collagen calvariin. Animal experiments have shown that it has the effects of strengthening bones, raising blood and replenishing blood, and it also has a good effect on wound healing. Ingestion of collagen can enhance the collagen structure under low calcium levels, thereby increasing bone strength, that is, achieving the effect of preventing osteoporosis.

(5) Artificial plasma substitute

Collagen is purified to remove heat sources, and the molecular weight is controlled between 50,000 and 100,000, which is approximately equivalent to the molecular weight of albumin (69,000). This molecular weight of collagen can maintain the necessary osmotic pressure of blood and is closer to the natural properties of plasma. ,good results. It has been widely used abroad, and my country is also promoting its industrialization.
