What is the difference between True, Wild and Noble Collagen?Updated 3 months ago

Type I collagen is the most abundant type in our bodies, comprising 90% of your body’s total collagen. True and Wild Collagen contain 100% pure bioactive type I collagen peptides from bovine and marine sources respectively.  These short type I collagen peptide chains act as signalling molecules to stimulate fibroblast activity, which is crucial for the synthesis of new collagen throughout the body.

Type II collagen works differently from type I collagen.  It is not in the form of peptides but is undenatured, also known as native collagen. This means it retains its original triple-helix structure and has a different mechanism of action from type I collagen peptides. It interacts with the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) to promote a regulating immune response to worn-out collagen fragments in the cartilage of joints, reducing inflammation and pain associated with ageing joints.

The type II collagen in Noble Collagen is enhanced with carefully selected synergistic ingredients to maximise benefits for joint health. We’ve included vitamin C and manganese, both essential for collagen synthesis and critical to maintaining the structural integrity of joints, encompassing bones, tendons, and ligaments. Additionally, Noble Collagen is enriched with Boswellia serrata, a powerful botanical celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties and traditional use in alleviating rheumatic pain.

Think of type I collagen as your whole body health ally and type II collagen is the targeted guardian of your joints, maintaining mobility and comfort to help you move. Supplementing with type I collagen supports skin, hair, nails, bones, tendons and gut health. On the other hand, type II collagen provides targeted joint health support. Together, they provide comprehensive benefits for whole-body health.
