"Hydrolysed collagen improves bone metabolism and biochemical parameters in ovariectomised mice: An in vitro and in Vivi study"

A study with mice with their ovaries removed - used as a model for postmenopausal osteoporosis - found that the collagen was associated with an increase in the activity osteoblasts - cells responsible for cell formation.

Furthermore, the ingredient was associated with a decrease in activity of osteoclasts - cells responsible for bone resorption, report the researchers in the journal Bone.

"The results of the present study indicate that hydrolysed collagen modulates bone formation and mineralisation of the bone matrix by stimulating osteoblast growth and differnentiation while reducing osteoclast differentiation," wrote the researcher, led by Fanny Guillerminet from France's INRA.

"These effects led to growth of the external diameter of the cortical zone.  These results could be of potential intereset for nutritional intervention in the prevention of bone loss." they added.
