Stark Collagen Hydrolyzed Pure Powder (collagen)

Stark Collagen Hydrolyzed Pure Powder — collagen peptides for skin, ligaments and joints

Stark Collagen Hydrolyzed Pure Powder is a Stark Pharm food supplement in powder format with hydrolyzed collagen peptides Peptan P 2000 LD.

The composition uses type I collagen with an average molecular weight of 2000 LD, obtained from pig skin.

The product is often chosen as an additional source of collagen peptides in the diet - to support connective tissue (joints, ligaments, tendons, bones) and "beauty" (skin, hair, nails).

Briefly about the product:

• Form: powder.
• Weight options: 200 g, 500 g, 1000 g.
• Serving size: one measuring spoon with a slide (5 g).
• Collagen hydrolysate Peptan P 2000 LD — 5000 mg per serving.
• Nutritional value (per 100 g): proteins — 90 g; fats — 0 g; carbohydrates — 0 g.
• Energy value (per 100 g): 360 kcal / 1506.24 kJ.

How it works:

• Collagen peptides: can provide nutritional support for connective tissue.
• Amino acid base: collagen peptides provide the amino acids characteristic of collagen.
• Joints and ligaments: can help support the joint and ligamentous apparatus during regular stress.
• Bones: may help support the structural components of the musculoskeletal system.
• Skin: May help maintain skin firmness and elasticity.
• Hair and nails: may be appropriate as an additional source of peptides in a comprehensive “beauty” routine.

The effect of the Stark Collagen Hydrolyzed Pure Powder supplement

• Connective tissue: may help maintain connective tissue structure.
• Ligaments and tendons: may be appropriate during periods of increased stress as nutritional support.
• Joints: Can help maintain comfort and mobility in conjunction with training and recovery.
• Bones: may help support the musculoskeletal system.
• Skin: Can maintain skin elasticity and density as part of the diet.
• Rehabilitation: may be appropriate in recovery programs after physical exertion.
• Active lifestyle: suitable for preventive use during active periods.

Benefits of the formula

• Peptan P 2000 LD: collagen peptides in a convenient powder format.
• Flexible dosage: 5 g serving, can be scaled to suit diet and workload.
• Pure composition: one active ingredient per serving — collagen peptides.
• Versatility: suitable for sports, active lifestyle and “beauty”.

Who might be interested?

• For people with regular training, when supporting ligaments and joints is important.
• For those who want to add collagen peptides to their diet as an additional source of protein peptides.
• In nutritional support programs for skin, hair and nails.

Scientific data

1. Peptide fragments after oral collagen administration

Briefly: In a human study, dietary collagen peptides, particularly short hydroxyproline fragments (e.g. Pro-Hyp), were identified in the blood after ingestion of gelatin hydrolysates (collagen-derived peptides). This explains the concept of “peptide residues”: some collagen is not only present as individual amino acids, but also as short peptides that could potentially serve a signaling role.

2. Pro-Hyp signaling action: stimulus for dermal matrix cells

Briefly: in a cell model of dermal fibroblasts, the collagen-derived dipeptide Pro-Hyp was associated with stimulation of cell mitotic activity and increased hyaluronic acid synthesis through activation of HAS2 transcription. Such data are often cited as a mechanistic explanation for why collagen peptides are considered not only as “building blocks” but also as potential bioactive fragments that support the skin matrix’s own processes.

3. Beauty: wrinkles and markers of own dermal collagen

Briefly: In a placebo-controlled study, 8 weeks of specific bioactive collagen peptides were associated with a 20.1% reduction in crow's feet compared to placebo; a 65% increase in procollagen type I and an 18% increase in elastin (compared to placebo) were also reported, as markers of increased dermal matrix synthesis.

4. Rehabilitation and exercise: markers of collagen metabolism after exercise

Briefly: In a randomized crossover design in active men, ingestion of 15 g of gelatin with vitamin C 1 hour before a short exercise bout (jumping) was associated with a 153% increase in blood PINP at 4 hours; the authors also showed that serum after gelatin ingestion increased collagen content and mechanical properties in an engineered ligament model. The article specifically notes that blood PINP is often interpreted as a marker of bone collagen metabolism, so the results are more likely to be interpreted as a marker response to exercise enhanced by nutritional support.

5. Rehabilitation in sports: data from long-term intake of collagen hydrolysate

Briefly: In a 24-week placebo-controlled study in athletes with exercise-induced joint discomfort, collagen hydrolysate supplementation was associated with improved pain/discomfort scores on a range of movement tests compared to placebo.
