Collagen
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body, forming the framework of connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, cartilage and skin. Its integrity is fundamental to tissue structure, function and long-term health.
The characteristics of a collagen supplement depend not simply on the amount of collagen consumed, but on the form in which it is delivered. Peptide composition, molecular weight and bioavailability all influence how efficiently collagen can be absorbed and transported within the body.
InnerCode’s Tripeptide Collagen is built around an advanced collagen tripeptide technology containing over 80% tripeptides and an ultra-low molecular weight of just 500 Daltons. These highly specialised peptides are significantly smaller than those found in conventional hydrolysed collagen, enabling rapid absorption and delivering up to 5x greater bioavailability.
Bioavailability – Maximised Absorption
Twice absorbed. Fully delivered.
Cumulative absorption (AUC) over four hours — InnerCode Tripeptide Collagen reaches full systemic uptake while conventional collagens plateau below 50%.
InnerCode Tripeptide Collagen
100% absorption
Fully delivered within 4 hours
Collagen 2,000 Da
48% absorption
Less than half taken up
Collagen 5,000 Da
40% absorption
Weakest systemic uptake
Once absorbed, collagen tripeptides can enter circulation intact rather than being fully broken down into individual amino acids. Their small molecular size and peptide structure have therefore become an area of growing scientific research.
Research into collagen tripeptide technology continues to explore the behaviour of these low-molecular-weight peptides following absorption, contributing to a broader understanding of how tripeptide formulations differ from conventional hydrolysed collagen.
Molecular weight distribution
Lower. Tighter. Better engineered.
How InnerCode Tripeptide compares against conventional collagen and tripeptide — the only ingredient concentrated within the 300–500 Da bioactive range.
InnerCode Tripeptide Collagen
300-500 Da
Sharp, concentrated peak
Tripeptide Competitor
~1,200 Da
Broad, lower-purity profile
Conventional Collagen
2,000-3,000 Da
Wide spread, weak absorption
The exceptional absorption profile of InnerCode’s Tripeptide Collagen allows InnerCode to provide its recommended daily serving in just 2.5g, up to 75% lower than the serving size of many traditional collagen supplements.
By combining advanced tripeptide technology, ultra-low molecular weight and high bioavailability, InnerCode’s Tripeptide Collagen takes a precision-led approach to collagen supplementation.
Collagen quality is defined by more than concentration alone. Peptide structure, molecular weight and bioavailability are all important characteristics when comparing different collagen formulations.
Peak Bioactivity
Why 300–500 Daltons?
Bioactivity peaks within a narrow molecular window — and InnerCode Tripeptide Collagen is engineered to land precisely inside it.
Maximum activity at 300–500 Da
Tripeptides at this molecular window deliver 100% of the measurable bioactivity peak.
Steep drop above 1,000 Da
Bioactivity falls to 60% by 1,000 Da and continues to decline as size increases.
Inactive above 5,000 Da
Conventional collagen peptides show effectively no bioactivity in this range.
