Our latest innovation, SAIFColl3, represents the next generation of collagen supplementation – a liposomal collagen tripeptide (CTP) designed for maximum absorption, rapid bioavailability and clinically relevant benefits across skin, joints, bones and connective tissues.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, forming the structural framework of skin, joints, bones, tendons and connective tissues. It is collagen that keeps skin firm and elastic, cushions joints and supports bone density and strength.
However, collagen synthesis begins to decline as early as our 20s, with production dropping by around 1% each year (Proksch et al., 2014).
By midlife, this decline is visible and tangible:
Skin: Fine lines, wrinkles, sagging and dryness.
Joints: Stiffness, reduced flexibility and discomfort.
Bones: Loss of density and increased fracture risk.
Connective Tissue: Slower repair and recovery.
External factors – UV exposure, smoking, stress and poor diet – can further accelerate collagen breakdown, compounding these age-related changes.
This makes collagen supplementation an attractive strategy for supporting long-term health, beauty and performance.
Traditional collagen supplements are typically hydrolysed collagen peptides. While these peptides are broken down for easier digestion, they still require further enzymatic processing in the gut before they can be absorbed. This reduces their efficiency and slows their impact.
In contrast, collagen tripeptides (CTP) are a highly bioavailable form consisting of specific three-amino-acid sequences, most commonly Gly–Pro–Hyp. Unlike larger peptide chains, CTPs are directly absorbed into the bloodstream without additional breakdown, making them both faster and more effective (Ohara et al., 2007).
Studies suggest that CTPs are 4–10 times more bioavailable than standard collagen peptides (Yamamoto et al., 2016), with measurable increases in circulation within 30 minutes of consumption.
SAIFColl3 combines two powerful innovations:
Collagen Tripeptides – The smallest, most absorbable collagen fragments, rich in Gly-Pro-Hyp sequences that are directly utilised by skin, joint and bone cells.
Liposomal Encapsulation – A protective delivery system that enhances stability, shields the peptides from digestive breakdown and ensures efficient transport into circulation.
The result is a superior collagen supplement ingredient with unmatched bioavailability, efficacy and consistency.
The growing body of clinical evidence shows that collagen tripeptides deliver faster and more noticeable results compared to traditional collagen:
Improves skin hydration and elasticity (Kim et al., 2018).
Reduces wrinkles and fine lines within just four weeks (Ohara et al., 2010).
Supports fibroblast activity for collagen renewal and repair.
Enhances skin barrier function and resilience against UV damage.
Stimulates cartilage regeneration and reduces stiffness (Moskowitz, 2000).
Promotes flexibility and comfort for active individuals and ageing adults.
Encourages osteoblast activity and bone matrix formation (Yamamoto et al., 2016).
Helps retain calcium and phosphorus, reducing osteoporosis risk.
Provides amino acids crucial for keratin synthesis, strengthening hair and nails.
Reduces brittleness, splitting and thinning over time.
Speeds muscle recovery by supporting connective tissue repair.
Enhances wound healing and tissue regeneration (Shigemura et al., 2009).
May reinforce the gut lining, supporting digestion and comfort.
