Protein hydrolysate is a type of protein that has been broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids through the process of hydrolysis.
It’s thought to be absorbed and utilised more quickly than other forms of protein.
Protein hydrolysate is derived from a variety of sources, such as whey, casein and soy.
Whey protein hydrolysate is an easily-absorbed form of protein typically used by people looking to increase muscle mass.
Protein is used to build muscle, and whey protein hydrolysate is the most popular choice thanks to its easy digestibility and rapid absorption, along with its ability to support muscle growth and recovery.
This is why you’ll commonly find whey protein hydrolysate being used by athletes and bodybuilders.
Protein is essential to the human body because it can
Protein in its hydrolysate form offers additional unique benefits, including
Protein hydrolysate comes in a variety of forms, including powders, bars or ready-to-drink shakes.
A protein hydrolysate supplement is most effective when taken in conjunction with a well-balanced diet and regular exercise.
Collagen hydrolysate is a type of protein that is derived from collagen, which is one of the most abundant proteins in the human body.
Collagen supports the health of our bones, skin, muscles, tendons and cartilage. So, how is collagen hydrolysate made? Collagen hydrolysate can be extracted from a variety of sources, including agro-food waste. It is commonly sourced from the bones, tendons or skin of animals.
To be converted to collagen hydrolysate, collagen undergoes hydrolysis, a process in which water and enzymes break the collagen down into smaller peptides.
But why is this conversion necessary? Collagen is better absorbed by the body when taken in its hydrolysate form.
Collagen is an essential protein. It benefits the body in a variety of ways:
Collagen hydrolysate shares the same benefits as collagen, but has a special advantage: it’s easier to digest and gentler on the stomach.
When a collagen protein is broken down, it becomes collagen hydrolysate. You can often find collagen hydrolysate in the form of powders, tablets or capsules.
You’ll also find collagen hydrolysate in skincare products, as the protein has been proven to increase the skin's elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
