Targeted action down to the cellular level
During digestion, bioactive collagen peptides are largely broken down into individual amino acids. However, current findings show that about 10–15% of the peptides enter the bloodstream in intact form.
These two pathways make the difference:
Amino acids serve as fundamental building blocks for various structures in the body.
Intact peptides on the other hand, perform a targeted signaling function – especially for connective tissue cells. It has been shown that specific peptide structures can selectively stimulate different cell types. For example, FORTIBONE® contains a special composition of peptides that is particularly effective on bone-forming cells (osteoblasts), thereby specifically supporting bone health. BODYBALANCE® collagen peptides act specifically on muscle tissue.
