Cod collagen peptides are bioactive compounds derived from the collagen protein of cod fish (Gadus spp.). Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, playing a crucial role in the structure and function of skin, bones, joints, and connective tissues. Collagen peptides are hydrolyzed forms of collagen, making them more easily absorbed by the body.
WrinkleCare™ Cod Collagen Peptide (High Hyaluron) is a special type of Cod Collagen Peptide that tested and found to have the following skin benefits:
1. Extremely high anti-hyaluronidase effect which will stop the skin's hyaluron degradation. More than 70% of hyaluron degradation can be stopped at 50mg/ml concentration
2. High anti-elastase effect which will stop the skin's elastase degradation. More than 50% of elastase degradation can be stopped at 50mg/ml concentration
3. High anti-oxidant property based on DPPH assay. More than 40% of oxidation can be stopped at 50mg/ml concentration
The company offers lab service that can test these activities in your finished product
