Frequently asked questions.
Everything you need to know about collagen, ingredients, quality, use and the difference between CollaMouv® and CollaMouv Plus®.
Kölligreich®: our collagen source
What is Kölligreich®?
Kölligreich® is a highly purified, hydrolysed collagen peptide complex of bovine origin containing collagen types I, II and III. It is developed for good absorption and bioavailability and forms the central active ingredient in CollaMouv® formulations.
Why hydrolysed collagen peptides of bovine origin?
This source provides collagen types relevant to skin, joints, cartilage, bones and connective tissue. Hydrolysis creates smaller peptides that the body can absorb more easily.
Which collagen types does Kölligreich® contain?
The focus is on type II for cartilage and joints. Type I supports bones, tendons and skin, among other tissues; type III complements the structure of skin and vascular tissue.
How is purity tested?
Manufacturing follows defined quality and safety processes. Batches are tested for microbiological purity, heavy metals and peptide composition, among other parameters.
Are there clinical studies specifically on Kölligreich®?
According to the manufacturer's published information, there are currently no completed studies exclusively on Kölligreich®. A university study is being prepared. The underlying form of hydrolysed collagen peptides is covered in scientific literature.
Collagen in the body
Why is collagen important for joints and skin?
Collagen is a key structural protein in cartilage, skin, tendons and ligaments. It contributes to the strength, elasticity and resilience of these tissues.
At what age does natural collagen production decline?
The body's own production typically begins to decline gradually from around the mid-twenties. Lifestyle, UV exposure, smoking and diet can influence this process.
How does collagen support mobility?
Collagen is a component of cartilage, tendons and ligaments. These structures enable controlled movement, transmit forces and cushion loads.
Can collagen affect visible signs of ageing?
Studies on hydrolysed collagen investigate skin elasticity and hydration. Specific benefit claims should always remain tied to authorised health claims and individual circumstances.
Manufacturing and quality
Where are CollaMouv® products manufactured?
According to the manufacturer, production takes place in certified facilities in Germany and Spain.
Are the products GMP-certified?
According to the manufacturer, production takes place in GMP-certified facilities and follows ISO quality standards.
Do the products contain animal-derived ingredients or allergens?
The collagen is derived from cattle; whey protein from milk may also be present. The products are therefore not vegetarian and are unsuitable for people with a milk protein allergy. Always check the ingredient list.
Are the products sugar-free?
According to the comparison, CollaMouv® Original contains less than 0.1 g of sugar; CollaMouv Plus® contains more. Always refer to the current nutrition declaration on the packaging.
How is quality controlled?
According to the manufacturer, checks cover purity, microbiological safety, heavy metals and the consistency of active ingredients.
Use and product characteristics
What makes CollaMouv® different from other collagen products?
The formulas combine hydrolysed collagen peptides with selected vitamins, minerals and plant extracts in a ready-to-drink 25 ml shot.
What role does rosehip extract play?
Rosehip is studied in the literature in relation to joint comfort and oxidative stress. It complements both formulations.
Why is vitamin C included?
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones.
How often should CollaMouv® be taken?
The published recommended intake is one 25 ml vial per day. Do not exceed this amount and follow the label.
When can I expect results?
Individual experiences vary. The manufacturer recommends regular use over several months; symptoms should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
Can I combine CollaMouv® with other supplements?
If you take medication, have existing medical conditions or use other supplements, discuss the combination with your doctor or pharmacist.
Science and progress
What is the WOMAC index?
WOMAC is an established self-report questionnaire for pain, stiffness and physical function in hip and knee osteoarthritis.
Can WOMAC document my progress?
Yes. Repeated measurements under comparable conditions can reveal changes. Discuss the interpretation with a healthcare professional when needed.
Do health claims comply with EFSA requirements?
Permitted statements relate to authorised health claims for individual nutrients. General information about ingredients does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment.
Is hydrolysed collagen bioavailable?
Hydrolysis breaks collagen proteins down into smaller peptides. This form is studied for its absorption and utilisation.
Original or Plus®?
How do I choose between Original and Plus®?
Original focuses on collagen and contains the higher collagen dose. Plus® combines a lower collagen dose with glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid and other ingredients.
When might Plus® be more suitable?
Plus® is designed for people who want a broader all-in-one formula or have already used conventional joint supplements.
Can I switch between the two products?
Switching is generally possible; if you are undergoing treatment or are unsure, involve a healthcare professional.
Are both versions suitable for men and women?
Both versions are intended for adults regardless of gender. Individual contraindications and label instructions must be observed.
What is HexAffect®?
HexAffect® is the CollaMouv Plus® concept that combines six key components with different functions.
What should I do about severe or limiting symptoms?
Severe, new or persistent pain needs medical assessment. Food supplements do not replace diagnosis or treatment.
