Pangasius Skin for collagen from Vietnam,Vietnam price supplier

Fish collagen is a complex structural protein that helps maintain the strength and flexibility of skin, ligaments, joints, bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, gums, eyes, nails, and hair. It's a type I collagen, which is the most abundant collagen in the human body. Type I is best known for providing the foundation for beautiful skin, strong connective tissues, and sturdy bones.

Fish collagen is absorbed up to 1.5 times more efficiently into the body and has superior bioavailability over bovine or porcine collagens. Since it's absorbed more efficiently and enters the bloodstream more quickly, it's considered the best collagen source for medicinal purposes.

Fish collagen's ability to be more easily absorbed by our bodies is thanks to its lower molecular weight and size, which allows the collagen to be absorbed at a higher level through the intestinal barrier into the bloodstream and carried throughout the body.

The scales, skin, bones, and fins of fresh or saltwater fish are used for the creation of fish collagen supplements. Since these parts are considered waste products during fish processing, using them to create other products helps reduce environmental pollution.

How is collagen extracted from Pangasius Fish?

Acid-solubilized collagen (ASC) was extracted from basa fish skin (Pangasius hypophthalmus) by acetic acid and purified by dialysis, lyophilization and supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction techniques. After 24 h under stirring condition, more than 93 % of salt was removed by dialysis. The efficiency of lipid extraction process reached 91.6 % at the following conditions: pressure of 200 bar, CO2 flow rate of 10 g/min, temperature of 38 oC, concentration of ethanol as co-solvent of 10 % (v/v) and the retention time of 60 minutes. The obtained collagen has low impurities of lipid (0.33 %), and ashes (0.29 %). Moreover, extracted collagen has no smell, no color, high molecular weight, and is appropriate for cosmetic purposes, pharmaceutical and food applications.
