Nothing to fault, except that this product surprised me in the nicest possible way!! Try it once and you'll keep it!
GELAFORM is obtained by gentle hydrolysis, which breaks amino acid chains down into short peptides, promoting fast, efficient absorption, unlike gelatine or non-hydrolysed collagen; this hydrolysed collagen comes in capsules, to be taken with a glass of water. Vitamin C improves absorption. It contains over 98% protein. Its amino acid profile stands out for glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, characteristic of collagen.
For active people looking to support their joints over the long term and regular athletes who want to look after their muscle mass. For seniors who want to stay active and would like an easy way to add protein. For anyone mindful of their skin health. For travellers and busy days: capsules to take anywhere, with no powder to measure.
GELAFORM Collagen+ «Gold» is a naturally sourced hydrolysed collagen, formulated to be easily absorbed and worked into your daily routine. No additives, no flavourings, no allergens: a simple, effective formula, true to the Bio-Gestion approach. In capsule form it goes wherever you go: in a suitcase, at the office or at the gym.
GELAFORM is produced through a gentle hydrolysis process that breaks amino acid chains down into short peptides. This reduced molecular structure promotes fast, efficient absorption by the body, unlike gelatine or non-hydrolysed collagen. The capsules hold the same hydrolysed collagen: simply swallow them with a glass of water at mealtimes, with nothing to prepare or measure.
GELAFORM mainly provides type I and II collagen, the most abundant in cartilage, tendons, bones and skin, along with smaller amounts of types III, IV and V. Its amino acid profile stands out for its glycine (20.6 g), proline (11.2 g) and hydroxyproline (11.4 g) content per 100 g of protein, see table below.
With over 98% protein, GELAFORM is also valued in muscle-building contexts. Free of fat, sugar and carbohydrates, it is compatible with low-carb and ketogenic diets.
Protein comes from the diet: meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, pulses or cereals. Collagen is a particular protein whose amino acid profile differs from that of these foods: GELAFORM complements your meals, it does not replace them.
