The nutritional value of collagen Peptides & gelatin is very similar, but they are not the same thing, and both interact differently in your body.
Our Gelatin & Collagen Peptides both start their journey as cow hides, a rich source of Type 1 & Type 3 collagen (which are very similar to the types of collagen in our body).
GELATINis created when the cow hides are dissolved in water, breaking down the native form of collagen & resulting in a jelly-like stock when cooled. This process is known as ‘Partial Hydrolysis’ and makes the native form of collagen easier to digest by making the amino-acid chain structures shorter. This method of breaking down the collagen from hides has been used for centuries by many traditional cultures throughout the world. Gelatin is mostly used for culinary applications due to its ability to gel, whereas collagen peptides do not have this gelling ability.
In comparison, COLLAGEN PEPTIDES (or hydrolysed collagen supplements) are ‘Hydrolyzed’, meaning the amino-acid chain structures have been shortened again using a natural enzyme hydrolysis (water) process that makes the amino acids even more bioavailable. Although gelatin & collagen peptides may contain some of the same amino acids, the amino acids in Collagen Peptides are more easily absorbed & used than that in gelatin.
