EFFICACY BIOAVAILABILITY

For the best efficacy, we consider bioavailability, the degree and rate at which substance is absorbed to the body as our main priority

To secure the collagen with the superior absorption efficiency,
we primarily pay attention to sourcing the fine ingredients.

WHY FISH COLLAGEN ?

Collagen is made up of three main amino acids including Proline, Hydrozyproline and Glycine, all of which play the significant role in building block for our body’s connective tissues. Since Hydroxyproline, the largest-sized amino acid, is hardly found in other protein types except collagen, it is very common to quantify the amount of collagen in our body.

According to the research to quantify the
amount of collagen in our body, it reveals that
those who take fish collagen have the highest
rate of collagen regeneration in their body
after taking it for 1 hour.

That shows human body
absorbs collagen
from fish the best.

WHY FISH SCALE COLLAGEN ?

Uminomoto Collagen uses only fish scale as the ingredient combined with High Enzymetec Scale Technology from Japan in production process according to the research revealing

Moreover, it shows that fish scale collagen contain higher amount of Hyp-containing peptide: Pro-Hyp, Ala-Hyp, and Ala-Hyp-Gly, all of which are the essential Peptide that boosts skin cell regeneration (fibroblast) than fish skin collagen.

After measuring Hydroxyproline amino acid in blood, found out that those who take the collagen made from fish scale have better absorption than who take the collagen from fish skin at almost 200%.

Likewise, Tripeptide and Dipeptide proportion of fish scale collagen is greater than that of made from fish skin.

AMINO ACID PROFILE

Umi Collagen has the protein up to 96X which is consisted of essential amino acid that the body cannot build all 9 types and the other 9 types of non-essential amino acid.
