Hydrolysed Porcine Collagen

Hydrolysed porcine collagen is collagen that is derived from pigs (porcine) and has undergone a process called hydrolysis, which breaks down the collagen molecules into smaller, more digestible peptides. This process improves its bioavailability, making it easier for the body to absorb and use.

Characteristics 

  • High Bioavailability: Hydrolysis breaks down the large collagen molecules into smaller peptides, which are more easily absorbed by the body, allowing for faster and more effective benefits.
  • Rich in Type I Collagen: Porcine collagen is rich in Type I collagen, which is primarily found in skin, tendons, and bones. This type of collagen is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity, joint health, and bone density.
  • Neutral Taste and Odour: Like other hydrolysed collagen, porcine collagen has a neutral taste and odour, which makes it easy to incorporate into a variety of food and beverage products.
  • Solubility: Hydrolysed porcine collagen is soluble in both hot and cold liquids, making it versatile for use in supplements, functional foods, and beverages.

Uses of Hydrolysed Porcine Collagen:

Food and Nutritional Supplements

  • Gelatine Production: Porcine collagen is processed into gelatine, which is used in a variety of food products such as marshmallows, gummy candies, and gelatine desserts.
  • Collagen Peptides: Hydrolysed porcine collagen, often in the form of peptides, is used as a dietary supplement to support joint health, skin elasticity, and overall connective tissue integrity.

Medical and Pharmaceutical Uses

  • Wound Healing, Sutures and Tissue Repair: Porcine collagen is used in absorbable sutures, dressings and grafts for skin wounds and the repair of musculoskeletal injuries. It helps in tissue regeneration and healing by promoting cell growth.

Cosmetics and Skin Care

  • Anti-aging Products: Much like its bovine counterpart, porcine collagen is widely used in anti-aging creams, serums, and lotions due to its ability to improve skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration. Porcine collagen is often included in formulations designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Dermal Fillers: Collagen-based dermal fillers, including those derived from porcine sources, are used for wrinkle reduction and facial volume restoration in cosmetic dermatology.

Industrial Uses

  • Leather Production: Collagen extracted from porcine skin is used in the tanning and leather industry. It helps produce high-quality leather with durability and softness.
  • Biodegradable Packaging: Research is being conducted to use collagen in developing eco-friendly, biodegradable packaging materials, especially as an alternative to plastics.

Veterinary Medicine

  • Animal Health: Porcine collagen is also used in veterinary applications, such as in wound care products and surgical procedures, for animals needing regenerative support.
