The average molecular weight (Mw) of the Natural Force® Marine Collagen Peptides is approximately 3,000 Daltons (Da).
What does 3,000 Da mean?
A Dalton (Da) is a unit used to measure molecular mass. In collagen, it describes the size of the collagen peptide chains.
Our Marine Collagen is hydrolyzed, meaning the collagen protein is broken down into smaller peptide chains. The resulting peptides have an average molecular weight of approximately 3,000 Da.
Does molecular weight affect absorption?
Molecular weight is one characteristic of collagen peptides, but it does not determine absorption or effectiveness on its own. Hydrolysis produces smaller collagen peptides that can be digested and absorbed by the body.
In short: Natural Force Marine Collagen Peptides have an average molecular weight of approximately 3,000 Da and are hydrolyzed into smaller collagen peptides.
