What is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. Its fiber-like structure is used to make connective tissue. Collagen is made up of three amino-acids : glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, it could be found in our skin, bones, joints, muscles, hair and nails. In a more Technical way to explain it : Collagen is formed from three very long chains of over 1,000 amino acids twisting into a helix conformation. This tightly twisted helix gives collagen the strength to build our body. To make it more simple to understand : Collagen makes up 75 percent of skin’s support structure. Think of collagen as the frame of our mattress; it gives (our skin) structure and support.
Why do Collagen plays a very important role in our body?
Collagen starts to degrade with age, and your genetics can affect how fast that degradation happens. When collagen begins to degrade in the skin and levels of it drop in the body, you may notice wrinkles, stiffer tendons and ligaments, weaker muscles, joint pain, and even GI (Gastrointestinal) problems. Collagen is vital for the health of every system in our body. Unfortunately, women experience a dramatic reduction in collagen synthesis after menopause.
Collagen VS Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides
Collagen is a hard, insoluble and fibrous protein that makes up one-third of the protein in the human body. It is difficult to break down during digestion and too large to cross the intestinal wall, so in it’s unhydrolyzed, full-length form, collagen is not an effective oral supplement. What is the difference between Collagen and Collagen Peptides? To make it simple for understanding, Collagen Peptides are breaking down in smaller form, it is easier to be absorbed by our body and easily soluble in cold water. MarryMi Collagen Honey is produced by hydrolyzed collagen peptides by single amino from fish scale (tilapia and snapper), it is more fine and concentrated in quality.
What does Collagen Honey taste like?
Collagen is tasteless despite in pill or powder form. MarryMi Collagen Honey is a mix of quality Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides and wildflower honey. Since wildflower honey comes from a great variety of blossoms, the taste, aroma and flavour will vary from season to season, depending on which flowers are dominant at the time the nectar is collected.
Storage Tips
Honey should be kept covered in a dry place at room temperature. Honey will not spoil and needs no refrigeration, which merely hastens granulation. Natural pure honey will begin to recrystallise at some time even properly stored, it is completely normal and perfectly fine to consume. Granulation, or crystallisation, is a natural phenomenon that does not harm the honey in any way. Likewise, the white foam often seen around the rim of the honey bottle is not cause for concern. The foam is a result of the bottling process. MarryMi Collagen Honey come in sachets form, it is easy to store and convenient to carry in your bags or pockets, so you could enjoy the tasty healthy supplement honey anywhere anytime!
