The groundbreaking difference that set’s our collagen peptides apart from the rest is an amazing technology known as agglomeration. Most hydrolyzed collagen powders dissolve relatively easily in hot liquids, such as your bulletproof coffee. However, add them to your morning orange juice or sparkling water, and you’ll find yourself with a gag-inducing, clumpy, gritty mess. The reason this happens is that naturally, collagen peptides are tiny particles. When you put a scoop of traditional collagen peptides in a cold liquid, the outside of the particle mass becomes wet, preventing the water from moving inside the mass to the dry particles. Dry particles on the inside and wet particles on the outside create the dreaded clumps so commonly found when you try to mix collagen peptides in cold liquid.
To fix the mixability problem, we use this agglomeration process in our Insta-Sorb technology. Our collagen peptides are agglomerated with water, no added binders or fillers. During this process, collagen peptide powder is blown into the air and misted with water, causing many of the smaller particles to stick together. This process creates larger particles, increasing the surface area. The water acts as a bridge between the particles, so when you pour a scoop of our collagen peptide powder into cold liquid, the bridges pull water into the larger particles, eliminating the problem of collagen peptides sitting on top of the water. Our powder begins to dissolve instantly, and with a slight stir, you’ll find it thoroughly blended without clumping or separation, no blender required!
