The BDF VeggActive functional mix has been designed to be manufactured with UHT equipment.

Main advantages

• Numerous studies have shown that a daily intake of 5g of collagen peptides helps to accelerate the recovery of muscle function and attenuate muscle soreness following strenuous physical exercise and lead to a significant reduction in activity-related knee joint pain in young physically active individuals.
• Other studies confirm the pain-alleviating and anti-inflammatory effects of collagen peptides. 
• Furthermore, collagen peptides increase fat-free mass (FFM) and strength in sarcopenic and active men.

Main benefits

• The promotion of lean muscle growth, as well as strength and mass.
• Aiding the formation of healthy joints and strong bones.
• Accelerating recovery after intense exercise.
• Improving athletic performance and help in the prevention of soft tissue injuries.

Topical application

• Codfish collagen has been shown to provide excellent moisturizing effects through water absorption, preventing skin dehydration without signs of skin irritation.

Oral consumption

• Collagen peptides decrease skin collagen reduction as a result of chronological-aging and exposure to the sun.
• The consumption of collagen peptides improves the health of skin cells by increasing collagen production and by inhibiting those enzymes that break down skin collagen. These effects improve suppleness and elasticity in the skin, leading to diminished surface roughness, heightened smoothness and fewer wrinkles .
