Collagen with minerals
Because the bone mineral is kept as its own fraction, it can go into a formulation with the peptides as a collagen mineral blend from one source, or be added separately at the ratio you choose. In development; ask us about it.
Pairing with authorised-claim nutrients
Many brands pair collagen with nutrients that carry authorised EU and UK claims. Examples: vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage; manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue; copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues. Our bone mineral fraction, now in evaluation, could add calcium and phosphorus from the same fish.
