Frequently Asked Questions
What is collagen and why do I need it?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, making up a large part of your skin, hair, nails, joints, and gut lining. From your mid-20s, your body's natural collagen production begins to decline. Supplementing with collagen powder helps replenish these levels, supporting skin elasticity, joint comfort, and overall wellbeing.
What makes PürGold Undenatured collagen different?
PürGold Collagen contains naturally occurring native bovine collagen polypeptides with the triple-helix structure preserved through carefully controlled processing. Native collagen provides the body's structural proteins in their natural form and contains abundant amino acids such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. These are the signature amino acids of connective tissue.
Different collagen types have different biological roles: Type I is the predominant collagen in skin, bone, tendons and ligaments, while Type II is the principal collagen of cartilage. Scientific research shows that collagen composition and molecular structure influence its biological function.
What are the benefits of Purgold Nutrition Collagen Powder?
Our collagen powder offers scientifically supported benefits including:
- Improved skin hydration and elasticity
- Stronger hair and nails
- Joint and bone support
- Gut health improvement
- Lean muscle support
Is your collagen suitable for pets?
Yes! Collagen is just as beneficial for pets as it is for humans. It supports joint mobility, coat health, and digestive health in dogs and cats. Simply mix the recommended amount into their food.
How do I use the collagen powder?
Pur Gold® contains native undenatured bovine collagen polypeptides, which naturally behave differently from hydrolysed collagen. Because the native triple-helix structure is preserved, the collagen is not designed to dissolve completely like collagen peptides.
For the best drinking experience:
- Add one serving of Pur Gold® to your favourite dry powder such as coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate or soup powder.
