Collagen in Food & Beverages

      Protein Fortification

      Research suggests that protein enriched foods are preferred by consumers, however, taste is the topmost driving factor while selecting a product. The classic examples of protein enriched or protein fortified foods are shakes, powders, bars etc. which have managed to appeal the masses.
      A variety of protein sources can be combined to get better protein quality. Dairy, eggs, meat, plant sources are some of the well-known protein sources. The most popular protein supplement known to us is whey proteins which is easily available in the form of powder supplements or bars. Protein is often linked with muscle building, pre or post workout nutrition, energy levels, weight management, immunity and less likely to be considered a vital food for skin health and beauty. Collagen is the most abundant protein in human body and provides structural support, strength and elasticity. The collagen levels decline with age and collagen supplements can help make up for the loss. Unlike other protein sources, Collagen is linked more with beauty and anti-aging, although like any other protein, it works wonders on our general wellbeing and keeping our skin, hair, nails, gut, bones, joints, cartilage and tendons healthy.
