Collagen supplements are increasingly popular in the wellness community, but not all collagen products are created equal. At Vanguard Nutraceuticals, we pride ourselves on producing collagen powder with an ultra low dalton size of less than 1500 Da.
But what does this mean, and why should you care?
Understanding Dalton Size and Bioavailability
Dalton size refers to the molecular weight of the collagen peptides. Our collagen’s ultra low dalton size means that the molecules are much smaller compared to standard collagen powders. This smaller size is crucial because it directly impacts bioavailability – the extent to which a nutrient can be absorbed and used by the body.
Typically, collagen powders have a dalton size ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 Da. While these are beneficial, their larger molecular size can limit their absorption efficiency.
In the world of collagen supplements, a smaller dalton size, usually under 2,000 Da, is considered highly desirable for superior absorption and efficacy.
Vanguard’s ultra low dalton size of less than 1500 Da sets a new benchmark in the industry, ensuring that our collagen is absorbed more efficiently than standard options.
Why Size Matters: The Science of Absorption
The body’s ability to absorb nutrients efficiently is a key factor in determining the effectiveness of any supplement. Larger collagen molecules, due to their size, are less efficiently absorbed.
This means that a significant portion of the collagen in larger molecules is not utilized by the body and is simply excreted.
In contrast, the ultra low dalton size of our collagen powder ensures that it is absorbed more completely and efficiently.
This means that when you consume Vanguard’s collagen, your body gets more of the essential building blocks it needs to support skin, hair, nail, and joint health.
Clinical Evidence
Our commitment to producing high-quality collagen is backed by science. We conducted a comprehensive clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of our marine collagen powder.
This randomised, single-blind, dose-response study involved 264 participants aged 30-50 years, who were assessed over 60 days.
The study’s findings were impressive:
Reduction in Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Participants who consumed 10g of Vanguard Nutraceuticals' Marine Collagen daily saw a 2.06x reduction in facial wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the crow’s feet area. This is compared to a 1.75x and 1.80x reduction with 2.5g and 5g dosages, respectively.
Improved Skin Hydration: The 5g dose resulted in a 3.65x improvement in skin hydration from baseline. Increased hydration helps maintain healthy, plump skin cells and regulate their functions.
Enhanced Skin Elasticity: Skin elasticity saw notable improvement across all dosages, with a 1.39x reduction in retraction time for the 10g dosage, indicating a more youthful appearance and better overall skin health.
Reduction in Hair Fall: Hair fall was reduced by 4.14x in the group consuming 10g daily. This highlights the potent benefits of our collagen for hair health.
Conclusion
The ultra low dalton size of our collagen sets us apart in the crowded supplement market.
With a molecular weight of less than 1500 Da, Vanguard Nutraceuticals' collagen powder ensures superior bioavailability and absorption, delivering more of the essential building blocks your body needs for optimal skin, hair, nail, and joint health.
Our collagen’s small molecule size means it can be more effectively utilized by the body, resulting in better, faster results compared to standard collagen powders with larger molecular weights.
In addition to its unparalleled bioavailability, our collagen powder is odourless and tasteless, making it an ideal choice for any supplement formulation. Its high solubility allows it to dissolve instantly in liquids, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience without any unpleasant aftertaste or gritty texture.
This combination of superior absorption, excellent sensory qualities, and ease of use sets Vanguard’s collagen apart from the competition.
