New Collagen-Peptide Candy Boosts Health and Vitality, Say Researchers

Scientists at Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University (KazNMU) have developed a new type of functional candy. These sweets combine hydrolyzed collagen peptides with maral-based ingredients, aiming to support health and well-being. The research focuses on creating products for consumers who prioritise natural quality and self-care.

The candies are formulated with hydrolyzed collagen peptides, which ensures easy absorption. This key ingredient helps maintain tissue structure and supports the body's resource balance. Regular consumption may also aid joint and ligament health, boost skin vitality, and strengthen hair and nails.

Beyond physical benefits, the candies are designed to enhance vitality and reduce fatigue. They may also help with faster recovery after exercise, making them particularly suited to people with active lifestyles. The sweets offer a pleasant taste with natural flavours, adding to their appeal. Raw materials for the research are provided by 'Zere' LLP, a supplier based in Martuk village in the Aktobe region. The collaboration highlights the use of locally sourced ingredients in developing these functional foods.

The new collagen peptide candies represent a practical application of KazNMU's research into maral-based products. They target health-conscious consumers looking for natural ways to support their well-being. The project also strengthens ties between academic research and local suppliers in Kazakhstan.
