  • Essential types of collagen

    Each type of collagen fulfills specific tasks in different tissues and organs of the body. The functions range from the firmness of the skin and the elasticity of cartilage to the stabilisation of tissue and ossification of cartilage (bone formation). With our specially formulated Multi Collagen in powder or capsule form, you can provide your body with a comprehensive supply of all essential collagen types.

  • Type 1 collagen

    Type 1 collagen is mainly found in the skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, teeth and other connective tissue structures of the body. In the skin, it makes up a large part of the dermis tissue and is responsible for the elasticity, firmness and structure of the skin. In bones, collagen type 1 forms the scaffolding of the bone matrix, which is crucial for their strength and structure. In tendons and ligaments, it contributes to the flexibility and resilience of these tissues and enables movement and stability in the joints.

  • Type 2 collagen

    Type 2 collagen is predominantly present in the hyaline cartilage tissue of the body, which covers the joints and protects them from friction and wear. It is also found in other cartilage tissues, such as the menisci, intervertebral discs and cartilage structures of the airways. Type 2 collagen is crucial to the structure and function of these tissues, allowing joints to move smoothly and maintain their health and integrity.

  • Type 3 collagen

    Type 3 collagen is mainly found in connective tissue structures, especially in the reticular fibres of connective tissue. It is abundant in organs such as the liver, lungs, spleen and lymph nodes, where it supports the structure and function of these organs. In addition, collagen type 3 is present in the skin, particularly in the reticular layer of the dermis, where it contributes to firmness and elasticity. The main function of collagen type 3 is to provide structural support and strength to various connective tissue structures in the body.

  • Type 5 collagen

    Type 5 collagen is mainly found in various types of connective tissue in the human body. It is particularly abundant in tissues such as the skin, tendons, ligaments and bones. In these tissues, collagen type 5 supports structural integrity and strength and contributes to the formation of stable collagen fibrils and networks. It is also found in other tissues, such as the eyes and blood vessels, where it also fulfils important structural functions.

  • Type 10 collagen

    Type 10 collagen is predominantly present in cartilaginous tissues, particularly in hypertrophic cartilage formed during skeletal development. The main function of collagen type 10 is to regulate the formation and development of joints during skeletal development. During endochondral bone formation, collagen type 10 acts as a structural scaffold in hypertrophic cartilage, which is required for mineralisation and transformation into bone tissue.

  • A unique combination

    The composition of the collagen product is crucial for a comprehensive supply of all essential collagen types to the body. Our Multi-Collagen consists of 100% patented collagen peptides of collagen types I, II, V and X. The collagen peptides are optimised for specific physiological functions using a special manufacturing process. The cells in the skin (fibroblasts), in the joints (chondrocytes) and in the bones (osteoplasts) are specifically stimulated.

  • Clinical studies confirm effectiveness

    The effectiveness of the individual collagen peptides has been tested and confirmed in a whole series of scientific studies:

    - Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines (study: Proksch et al., 2013)

    - Increase in hair follicle cells (hair thickness) (study: Oesser, 2020)

    - Reduction of knee joint pain and improvement in mobility (study: Zdzieblik et al., 2017)

    We have listed further studies below.

  • Bioactive peptides vs. simple collagen

    Not all collagen is the same. ‘Ordinary’ collagen is obtained by hydrolysis from animal raw materials. The special thing about our bioactive collagen peptides is that they are obtained in a highly controlled collagen production process, which is determined by the hydrolysis conditions. Through ‘enzymatic hydrolysis’, special collagen peptides are obtained that are optimised for their particular physiological function. This allows the peptides to be used specifically in the body to achieve desired effects, such as the stimulation of skin cells or bone cells.

  • Collagen metabolism

    The aim of taking collagen peptides is to stimulate the body's own collagen metabolism and thus increase the collagen content in the body. This happens in two ways: Firstly, the bioactive collagen peptides provide the body with valuable building blocks in the form of collagen-typical amino acids. Secondly, they stimulate cell synthesis. Specifically, the peptides reach the respective target cells (fibroblasts, chondrocytes, osteoblasts) in the body via the bloodstream. By interacting with the cell receptors, they stimulate the cells to produce more extracellular matrix or bone matrix, including collagen and other components such as elastin, proteoglycans, hyaluronic acid, etc. This stimulates the body's extracellular matrix. This stimulates the body's own collagen metabolism and the body produces more collagen.

  • Fibroblasts (skin)

    Fibroblasts are specialised cells that occur in various tissues of the body, especially in connective tissue. Their main function is the production and repair of components of the extracellular matrix such as collagen, elastin and proteoglycans. This matrix forms the basic framework of the tissue and supports its structural integrity and function. In the skin, fibroblasts are crucial for the production of collagen and elastin, which influence the firmness, elasticity and youthfulness of the skin.

  • Chondrocytes (cartilage)

    Chondrocytes are specialised cells found in cartilage tissue. Their main function is to produce and maintain the extracellular matrix of cartilage. The extracellular matrix is a complex mixture of proteins, including collagen and proteoglycans, and other molecules that give cartilage structure, strength and elasticity.

  • Osteoblasts (bones)

    Osteoblasts are specialised cells in bone tissue. Their main function is to build up bone tissue by producing and mineralising bone matrix. The bone matrix consists mainly of collagen fibres and other proteins that form the structural basis of bone.

  • Extracellular matrix (ECM)

    The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network of proteins, glycoproteins and other molecules that surrounds cells in tissues and organs. It provides structural support, enables cell communication, regulates cell functions and stores growth factors. The ECM influences cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation, which is essential for tissue homeostasis and organ function. Disruptions can lead to diseases such as cancer and arthritis.

FAQs about multi collagen

What is collagen?

Collagen is a vital protein in the body. It is one of the building blocks of skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles, hair, nails and cartilage.

Why add collagen?

As we age, the body's own collagen production decreases. On average, from the age of 25 onwards, the amount of collagen in the skin decreases by almost 2% per year. By the age of 60, most people have approximately 80% less collagen in their skin than they did at age 25.

Why add multi collagen?

Not all collagen is the same. There are a large number of so-called "collagen types". Each type of collagen fulfills specific functions and tasks in different tissues and organs of the body. Type 1, for example, is primarily responsible for the firmness of the skin, while type 2 contributes to the firmness and elasticity of cartilage. Type 5 supports the stabilization of tissues (e.g. hair), while type 10 plays an important role in the ossification of cartilage (bone formation). Our balanced Multi Collagen provides your body with a comprehensive supply of essential collagen types.

Why Multi Collagen from the Kollagen Institut?

Our product contains all essential collagen types, consists of 100% pure collagen without additives, is of the highest quality and is scientifically proven to be truly effective.

How quickly will I start to see first results?

Results vary based on metabolism, consistency, health, and age. Some customers have reported improvements within a few weeks, while others see gradual progress over months. Consistency with your supplement regimen is key for optimal outcomes.

How do I take multi collagen?

If you opt for the collagen powder, we recommend mixing the collagen into your favourite drink for daily use. Whether hot or cold, coffee or water, simply stir in two teaspoons and you have the perfect concoction. Alternatively, you can also stir the collagen into dishes such as soups. The collagen powder is neutral in flavour and easily soluble.

If you opt for the collagen capsules, we recommend taking the recommended daily dosage with a large glass of liquid at mealtimes.
