MY CHAT WITH FORMETTA


Something very interesting is coming on Monday!! We have an amazing interview with the Founder of @formetta Doctor Vanessa Craig.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@formetta is a daily supplement that promotes collagen synthesis, with a high-potency formula that uses bioactive collagen peptides and effective complementary ingredients to renew, rebuild, and restore.




DISCUSSION POINTS FROM OUR INTERVIEW - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS COLLAGEN?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It serves as the major structural protein in numerous tissues of our body, including skin, joints, blood vessels, muscles, gut tissue, and dentin. The human body continuously manufactures collagens to maintain tissue structural integrity. As part of the natural ageing process, collagen production starts progressively slowing at around 25. As this happens, tell-tale signs of ageing such as gray hair, weak nails, skin wrinkles and achy joints ensue.


WHAT ARE COLLAGEN PEPTIDES?

Collagen is a large complex protein consisting of long chains of polypeptides. The collagen molecule itself is far too big to be absorbed across the gut wall, so it needs to be broken down during digestion into smaller chains called peptides. Our collagen peptides are derived by hydrolysing (breaking down) collagen into peptides. This mimics the natural digestion process, making the peptides easy to absorb. Once absorbed, these peptides are readily distributed throughout the whole body where they are primed to contribute to collagen renewal.


WHERE IS OUR COLLAGEN SOURCED?

We use German-produced collagen peptides from bovine hide. They are exclusively sourced from high-welfare certified cows in Germany. Our peptides have been clinically proven to be effective. They are free from heavy metals and toxins.


DOES COLLAGEN SURVIVE STOMACH ACID?

Formettā’s collagen peptides are not destroyed or disrupted by digestive acid in the stomach. Once the collagen peptides reach the small intestine they are absorbed into the blood stream and distributed throughout the body in the form of peptides and free amino acids to trigger the body to produce new collagen.


DOES THE TYPE OF COLLAGEN MATTER?

No it does not. Formettā is comprised mainly of Type I and III collagen peptides. There are 28 distinct collagen proteins that have been identified, designated by Roman numerals (I–XXVIII). These collagens are made from the same building blocks but differ in their interactions with other proteins, cellular components, and location within the body. There is no evidence proving differences in activity between the consumption of different collagen types. Formettā is aimed at boosting collagen production in the whole body.




ABOUT THE FOUNDER - DR VANESSA CRAIG

For more than a decade, Formettā founder and biomedical research doctor Vanessa Craig actively researched how inflammation and environmental factors influence gene activity. And discovered how supplementing wisely could be the secret to improved health and graceful ageing.
