STRUCTURA brings 10g marine collagen peptides together with vitamin C for normal collagen formation, all eight B vitamins and 25mg hyaluronic acid. Completely tasteless, with no trace of fish taste and no added sweetener, it lets your coffee, smoothie or other favourite drink keep its own flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollagen is a source of protein, characteristically rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. Its amino acid profile differs from whey and plant proteins, offering a concentrated collagen ingredient alongside your usual protein foods. Hydrolysis breaks collagen’s long protein chains into smaller, soluble peptides before you take it. This begins the breakdown that digestion will continue, releasing amino acids and small peptides for absorption. It also makes collagen practical to mix into a daily drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin C has a clear role alongside the collagen: the 180mg in each scoop contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones and cartilage. Your body makes its own collagen; vitamin C supports that process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe B vitamins add nutritional support beyond the collagen. B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. B1, B2, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6, biotin and B12 contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism; biotin also helps maintain normal hair and skin. Folic acid contributes to normal amino acid synthesis. Hyaluronic acid is a different ingredient from protein: it is a water-binding compound naturally found in skin and connective tissues, included here as sodium hyaluronate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShake one level scoop (10.35g) into 250ml of water or a cold or warm drink once daily.
