hyCURE ® Bioactive Collagen Peptides®
A high quality, branded ingredient backed by science and patents, hyCURE ® can be incorporated into product formulas, may enhance other ingredients and provides a unique spectrum of 19 amino acids ready for immediate use by the body (in topical and/or nutritional product forms). Native intact collagen requires time for the body to break it down, delaying the body’s ability to use it in the healing process. hyCURE ® averages 1/100th the size of native intact collagen. Type I collagen is the principle collagen of skin and bone, and is the most abundant in the body, being the primary structural protein making up connective tissue.
We manufacture private label products utilizing hyCURE ® and can develop unique topical and nutritional formulas to meet your needs. hyCURE ® has the ability to aid healing by providing a moist healing environment, and provide assistance with damaged tissue (with applications in skin and wound care, arthritis and overall body wellness). Clinical studies on hyCURE ® have proven its safety and efficacy. Biocompatible and biodegradable, hyCURE ® (a recognized GRAS ingredient) has been used in plastic surgery, podiatry, dermatology, wound care and orthopedic settings with great success.
hyCURE ® is a proprietary hydrolyzed collagen for use in chronic and acute wounds for veterinary use. A natural hydrolyzed protein powder (collagen), hyCURE ® forms a gel when mixing with the wound’s exudate and provides a moist healing environment.
Collagen is a biological platform for new cell growth (1) and supplies nutritive protein to the wound site (2). Collagen replicates the natural fibro-connective template (3) and provides mechanical protection against physical and bacterial insult (4). Hydrolyzed collagen has been experimentally tested as a hemostatic agent and as a tissue adhesive exhibiting the following characteristics: permitting bond formation without undue deformation of tissue, providing complete sealing and having the potential to augment physically weakened tissues (aneurysms) (5).
