The 5 types of collagen in NoordCode Complete Collagen

Collagen is a protein found in many different parts of the body. Collagen in skin is different from that in cartilage, blood vessels or bones. The amino acid composition, 3D structure and function differ for each type of collagen.

At least 26 types of collagen have been defined, of which the following five types occur in NoordCode Complete Collagen.

Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen in the body, found mainly in skin, hair, nails, bones and ligaments.

Type II collagen is mainly found in cartilage between joints.

Type III collagen is common along with type I in skin and blood vessels.

Type V collagen is found in the skin and placenta and co-occurs with type I.

Type X collagen is part of the bone and cartilage structure.

Each type of collagen contains slightly different amino acids. With a combination supplement, you take the profile of amino acids that your body also uses itself to make collagen. So it's a good strategy to eat different types of collagen if you want to support your own collagen production.

Collagen is great for increasing your intake of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, but it does not contain all the essential amino acids. Therefore, you should combine it with protein sources that contain all essential amino acids.

Complete Collagen's 3 collagen sources

Collagen varies not only in types, but also between animal species. Fish, bird and bovine are fine sources of collagen, which can be used sustainably and responsibly.

Collagen from the skin of 100% grass-fed cattle

The basis of NoordCode Complete Collagen is 100% grass-fed bovine collagen hydrolysate. This collagen hydrolysate is also available separately as NoordCode Pure Collagen. The collagen is extracted from the skin, bones, tendons and joints of European cattle that eat grass daily.

Naticol® Collagen and type II collagen from fish

Fish has a different amino acid profile to bovine collagen, making it a good addition to your collagen intake. Naticol® is a pure collagen hydrolysate made from fish skins left over after filleting. The fish skins come from sustainable, wild-caught fish and farmed fish, in order to use as many different sources as possible. Naticol thus takes a 'waste product' and turns it into a high-quality collagen hydrolysate. It is readily soluble in liquids.

Ovomet® collagen from eggshell membranes

The eggshell membrane is the thin membrane directly under the eggshell. This membrane contains not only collagen, but also elastin, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine and chondroitin. These substances are also common in our skin. Eggshell membrane is therefore a nice way to get these substances.

Ovomet® hydrolysed eggshell membrane is readily bioavailable, just like the bovine and fish collagen in NoordCode Complete Collagen.

Enzymatically produced collagen hydrolysate

Collagen is the longest protein found in the body. Long protein chains are difficult to digest. Hydrolysation improves digestibility by breaking down collagen into small pieces (peptides). This also makes collagen hydrolysate readily soluble in liquids.

NoordCode uses enzymatically produced collagen hydrolysate. This requires no heating or chemicals that could damage the protein.

Collagen for beautiful skin

Recent scientific studies point to the following benefits of collagen on the appearance of your skin:

• Maintains normal appearance of the skin.
• Reduces visible signs of ageing.
• Maintaining normal hydration of the skin.
• Maintain normal elasticity of the skin.

125 mg Vitamin C from Acerola berries

The body uses vitamin C in the production of collagen. NoordCode Complete Collagen therefore contains 125 mg of vitamin C from acerola berries per serving (15 g). Acerola berries are a natural source of vitamin C.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, blood vessels, bones & cartilage, teeth & gums.

Furthermore, vitamin C provides the following benefits:

• Supports the normal function of the immune system.
• Gives more resistance during physical exertion (sports, training).
• Provides protection of cells against oxidative damage as an antioxidant.
• Supports normal psychological function and normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Activates your natural energy.
• Helps to reduce fatigue.
• Promotes absorption of iron from the diet.
• Helps regenerate the reduced form of vitamin E.

7 grams of glycine per serving

The amino acid glycine is one of the main components of collagen. Many people therefore take a collagen supplement as a natural source of glycine. NoordCode further enhances Complete Collagen with L-glycine. Each 15-gram serving provides 7 grams of glycine, of which 5 grams have been added.
