Not all collagen is created equal. While many collagen products primarily use hydrolyzed collagen as their protein source, Formettā takes a more targeted approach: Bioactive Collagen Peptides®.
The concept is based on three patented collagen peptide profiles, each of which has a specific biological characteristic and has been studied in clinical trials for different tissues.
In The Essential Collagen Formulation and The Superior Collagen Formulation, these three peptide profiles are combined in the respective dosages studied:
FORTIBONE® – 5 g: for bones and bone structure
FORTIGEL® – 5 g: for joints, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments
VERISOL® – 2.5 g: for skin, hair, nails, and the appearance of cellulite
The result is a collagen-based approach that does not rely solely on the amount of collagen. The focus is on specific collagen peptides with defined properties that have undergone clinical testing.
What are Bioactive Collagen Peptides®?
Collagen peptides are produced through the hydrolysis of collagen. This process breaks down the large collagen protein into smaller peptide chains, which are often sold as collagen powder in dietary supplements.
Bioactive Collagen Peptides® take it a step further: The individual peptide profiles have been specifically developed for different applications and scientifically studied.
After ingestion, collagen peptides are digested and absorbed. Certain peptide fragments may subsequently be detectable in the bloodstream and interact with cells in various tissues.
These include, among other things:
Osteoblasts in bone
Chondrocytes in cartilage
Fibroblasts in the dermis of the skin
In controlled studies, certain collagen peptides have been investigated in connection with the following processes, among others:
Support for the body's own collagen synthesis
Modulation of Collagen Degradation Processes
Changes in Selected Structural and Functional Parameters
Thus, a specifically characterized collagen peptide profile differs conceptually from any collagen hydrolysate.
Collagen Effects: What Can Collagen Peptides Actually Do?
The effects of collagen peptides depend on the type of peptide, the dosage, and the area of application. Clinical studies have examined, among other things, skin elasticity, skin hydration, wrinkle depth, joint discomfort, and parameters of bone metabolism. Therefore, it is not only important how much collagen a product contains, but also which collagen peptides were used and in what dosage.
FORTIBONE®: Collagen Peptides for Bone Health and Healthy Aging
Bones are among the tissues that change with age. For holistic healthy aging and well-aging, therefore, it is not only visible skin aging that is important, but also the long-term maintenance of the body’s structure and stability.
FORTIBONE® is the bone-targeted collagen peptide profile within the Bioactive Collagen Peptides® concept.
Clinical studies have examined the daily intake of 5 g of FORTIBONE®, including in women with low bone mass. Changes in markers of bone metabolism and bone mineral density were observed in these studies.
The study examined, among other things, relevant areas such as:
Bone formation markers
Markers of bone resorption
Bone mineral density at selected sites such as the spine and hip
For a modern longevity strategy, this means that well-aging is not just about outward appearance. Long-term support for bones and connective tissue is also part of a holistic approach to healthy aging.
FORTIGEL®: Collagen Peptides for Joint Health and Mobility
Joint health becomes increasingly important as we age, as well as during physical activity. Cartilage, tendons, and ligaments depend on resilient connective tissue.
FORTIGEL® was developed specifically for joints and cartilage and is therefore a key component of the Bioactive Collagen Peptides® concept.
Clinical studies on this peptide profile have examined, among other things, possible changes in cartilage parameters, joint symptoms, and functional parameters.
For example, studies have observed the following:
Changes in Proteoglycan Content in Cartilage
Improvements in joint pain and stiffness in certain study groups
Changes in Functional Parameters After Several Weeks of Use
This approach is particularly relevant for people who want to stay active and support their joint health over the long term.
After all, “well-aging” and “longevity” don’t just mean living as long as possible, but also remaining mobile, active, and independent for as long as possible.
VERISOL®: Collagen Peptides for Skin, Hair, and Nails
When it comes to visible signs of skin aging, VERISOL® takes center stage.
The specific collagen peptide profile was developed for the skin and evaluated in clinical studies, particularly with regard to skin elasticity, wrinkle depth, and other parameters of skin structure.
The focus here is on the dermis: Its fibroblasts are involved in the formation of important components of the extracellular matrix, including collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Studies using 2.5 g of VERISOL® per day have examined changes in the following skin parameters, among others:
Skin elasticity
Wrinkle volume around the eyes
Skin texture and other visible signs of aging
In addition, studies have also examined parameters related to nails and hair, as well as the appearance of cellulite.
This makes VERISOL® particularly appealing to anyone who views skin, hair, and nails as part of a holistic beauty and well-aging routine.
Collagen for Anti-Aging: What Does Science Say?
Collagen is a key component of the skin's structure. As we age, collagen metabolism changes: the body's own collagen production decreases, while at the same time, the processes involved in collagen breakdown may change.
This can manifest itself, among other things, in reduced skin elasticity, diminished firmness, and visible wrinkles.
Certain collagen peptides have therefore been studied in clinical trials to determine whether they can have a positive effect on various skin parameters.
Research to date on specific peptide profiles suggests that collagen peptides taken regularly may help improve parameters such as skin elasticity, skin hydration, and wrinkle depth in certain individuals.
It is important to note that the results cannot automatically be applied to every collagen powder. Factors such as the peptides used, their dosage, the duration of the study, and the study design are all relevant.
Anyone who wants to use collagen specifically for their skin should therefore not only look for the term “collagen” on the label, but also consider quality, peptide profile, dosage, and scientific evidence.
Why Formettā Relies on Three Collagen Peptides
Many collagen supplements are based on a single collagen hydrolysate. Formettā takes a different approach and combines three clinically characterized collagen peptide profiles that target different areas of the body.
The concept brings people together:
Bones
For structural stability and long-term physical health.
Joints
For mobility, resilience, and an active lifestyle.
Skin, Hair, and Nails
For visible signs of skin health and well-aging.
In The Essential Collagen Formulation and The Superior Collagen Formulation, FORTIBONE®, FORTIGEL®, and VERISOL® are combined in the dosages examined in each study.
This results in a collagen-based approach that isn't just focused on visible beauty benefits, but considers the skin, joints, and bones as a whole.
After all, a holistic approach to well-aging and longevity doesn't stop at the skin.

What makes a high-quality collagen powder?
If you're looking for the best collagen powder, you shouldn't focus solely on the collagen content.
What is crucial, rather, is:
Which collagen peptides are used?
Have the peptides been scientifically characterized?
What is the recommended daily dosage?
Are there any clinical studies on this specific peptide formulation?
What additional ingredients are included?
How transparent are the origin, quality, and ingredients?
That is why, especially with premium collagen, it is not just about getting as much collagen as possible, but about the quality and specificity of the collagen peptides used.
Collagen as Part of a Modern Well-Aging Strategy
Collagen is much more than just a beauty trend. As an important structural protein, it plays a role in the skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, and connective tissue.
A holistic approach to well-aging therefore considers not only the skin, but the body as a whole.
Skin. Joints. Bones. Mobility.
Formettā’s Bioactive Collagen Peptides® concept combines these areas into a scientifically grounded approach to collagen.
Not just for today. But for people who think in terms of decades.
