Mixsoon Collagen Powder Versus Mixsoon Bean Essence

"Collagen powder, also referred to as collagen protein, collagen peptides, or hydrolyzed collagen is an enzymatically degraded version of gelatin," explains Dr. Shiloah Kviatkovsky, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). "Collagen is found in the skin, bones, and tendons of animals such as cows, pigs, chickens, fish, and eggs, that are treated with hot water to extract gelatin. This gelatin is then further broken down chemically with the use of enzymes to get smaller chains of amino acids, called peptides, that make up the collagen powder." Most collagen peptide products are derived from animal products. Plant-based collagen is not true collagen, but a combination of the amino acids that make up collagen. Hydrolyzed collagen is simply collagen molecules with a low molecular weight. This means it's easier for your body to digest and absorb.
