What is Collagen?
Collagen is a key component of the basic structures of the human body and the connective tissue. It is an abundant protein of the body, accounting for about 30% of total body protein and 75% of the protein that makes up skin. As a result, collagen is the main constituent of our skin.
Collagen plays a leading role in all body functions since it is responsible for:
- The outer body (skin and hair)
- The flexibility & mobility of the body’s structural components (cartilages & joints)
- The smooth functioning of internal organs
- The maintenance of good form for blood vessels and bone density
Collagen’s role in the skin’s structure:
Common structural property of collagen is the presence of three polypeptide chains, that form a helix. A single collagen fiber comprises of multiple triple helices. There are several types of collagen in the human body. The most common are Types I, II & III, which are found in skin, tendons, joints, cartilages & blood vessels.
As we age, our organism tends to produce less collagen at a declining rate of about 1,5% per year from the age of 25 onwards. As a result, bones lose density, joints become more rigid, hair volume decreases, skin elasticity lessens and muscles weaken. The number and activity of skin cells (fibroblasts), that produce collagen, decreases. As fibroblasts become less active, the collagen matrix which provides skin firmness and structure, starts to break down. Skin then becomes dehydrated and thinner, plus, fine lines, wrinkles and deep furrows start to appear.
So, what can we do to replace collagen in our organism? Since sufficient quantity of Collagen cannot be provided through the consumption of different kind of food, therefore the intake of Collagen is essential.
What is Hydrolyzed Collagen?
What is Hydrolyzed Collagen?Hydrolyzed collagen, which is the leading form of collagen, is produced through the process of enzymatic hydrolysis of collagen protein. The process of hydrolysis involves breaking down the molecular bonds between individual collagen strands using combinations of enzymes. This process doesn’t use heat, chemicals or acids, but rather collagen is dissolved in water. The hydrolysis process results in reducing the collagen proteins of about 300,000 Da into small peptides having an average molecular weight between 2000 and 5000 Da.
Clinical studies have shown that the percentage of bioavailability is more than 90%¹,². Oral administration of hydrolyzed collagen is absorbed within the first 12 hours from the intake.
Hydrolyzed collagen contains 20 amino acids, which together represent around 50% of the total amino acid content.
Hydrolyzed Collagen’s peptides contain three times higher amount of proline, glycine and hydroxyproline amino acids. These amino acids are essential for the synthesis of new collagen and they strengthen the stability of collagen’s structure in the body.
| Amino acids | Percentage (%) |
| Proline/Hydroxyproline | 25% |
| Glycine | 20% |
| Glutamic acid | 11% |
| Alanine | 8% |
| Arginine | 8% |
| Other essential amino acids | 16% |
| Other non-essential amino acids | 12% |
Competitive Advantages of Hydrolyzed Collagen:
Because of its low molecular weight, hydrolyzed collagen presents some advantages when used compared to the natural / normal collagen:
- Dissolves in cold water
- Highly digestible (more than 90%¹,² bioavailability)
- Easily absorbable and can be distributed throughout the human body.
Stimulation of collagen in the body has a positive impact on our wellness by revealing a youthful, vibrant, fresh and vital inner beauty!!!

Lebogang Monaisa
My joints dont ache anymore, I can do things I havent been able to for ages! Thank you!
Diana
I have been using CP for the last year and love the product immensely ! I felt a difference in my energy levels and skin within the first 3 weeks of using it.
The condition of my skin and hair has improved drastically over the last year where people started to notice the difference.
I have gained lean muscle mass over the last few months as this product helps with muscle recovery, which increases the intensity level of my training sessions.
CP became part of my beauty and health regime and personally feel it’s more important to spend money on a product that works from the inside out than expensive external products.
Carla
I can’t stop raving! Like most people, when I was a young adult I thought nothing could harm me, but then life happened. For more than 30 years my shoulders and elbows have ached, all have had surgery performed on them, and although the surgery fixed part of the problem, cartilage wear and tear and tendon tears took their toll. When I started to investigate Collagen Proactive, I discovered that it is registered by the FDA in the United States as a Cartilage regenerative. Something no other Collagen has achieved. I started taking Collagen Proactive in September, 2015, within two weeks I was pain free and now 6 months later I am still pain free, and my shoulders feel much easier to move. What a brilliant product. I tried the other Collagens but nothing worked like Proactive, Thank you for bringing it into South Africa. Everyone should be on it.
Brian
I am feeling great! I am a Runner and my knees don’t ache anymore, I can run longer and faster – thank you!! I will never stop this amazing product!
Angie
I bought this product for my wife and she has been very happy with it. She feels more energetic and can see a difference in her skin and nails.

Collagen plays a leading role in all body functions since it is responsible for:
- The outer body (skin and hair)

How does Pro-Active Collagen ADVANCED work?

Lebogang Monaisa
My joints dont ache anymore, I can do things I havent been able to for ages! Thank you!
Diana
I have been using CP for the last year and love the product immensely ! I felt a difference in my energy levels and skin within the first 3 weeks of using it.
The condition of my skin and hair has improved drastically over the last year where people started to notice the difference.
I have gained lean muscle mass over the last few months as this product helps with muscle recovery, which increases the intensity level of my training sessions.
CP became part of my beauty and health regime and personally feel it’s more important to spend money on a product that works from the inside out than expensive external products.
Carla
I can’t stop raving! Like most people, when I was a young adult I thought nothing could harm me, but then life happened. For more than 30 years my shoulders and elbows have ached, all have had surgery performed on them, and although the surgery fixed part of the problem, cartilage wear and tear and tendon tears took their toll. When I started to investigate Collagen Proactive, I discovered that it is registered by the FDA in the United States as a Cartilage regenerative. Something no other Collagen has achieved. I started taking Collagen Proactive in September, 2015, within two weeks I was pain free and now 6 months later I am still pain free, and my shoulders feel much easier to move. What a brilliant product. I tried the other Collagens but nothing worked like Proactive, Thank you for bringing it into South Africa. Everyone should be on it.
Brian

Angie
I bought this product for my wife and she has been very happy with it. She feels more energetic and can see a difference in her skin and nails.
