about collagen

The beginnings of the breakthrough collagen research go back to the 1980s. The scientists from Gdansk – Maria Sadowska, Ilona Kołodziejska, Eugeniusz Krajewski – carried out trailblazing experiments in the field of marine peptide biochemistry. In 1985, Mieczysław Skrodzki, Antoni Michniewicz, and Henryk Kujawa, chemists from the Gdansk Polytechnic, extracted collagen from fish skin. The research continued, the methods were being improved. In the beginning of the 1990s, collagen drew interest of Professor Józef Przybylski Sc.D., biochemist from the Gdansk University. During numerous experiments, which he carried out together with his wife Krystyna Siemaszko-Przybylska, M.D., in order to obtain biologically active collagen, they developed a method of filtration of fish skin collagen through fibroins produced by silkworm (Bombyx mori). Their method preserved the spatial conformation of the precious and frail particles of this protein. The Przybylskis invention breaks off with methods based on extraction, using process of hydration instead. Hydration preserves the delicate bonds of collagen helix and thus makes it possible to obtain tropocollagen – intact collagen, identical with collagen synthesized in the organisms of vertebrates, biologically active.  Moreover, the collagen obtained from fish is more noble and safe than collagen obtained from mammals, it also has a better chemical and physical durability. Thanks to all these efforts by the Polish scientists, methods of collagen production were devised which preserve its unique spatial conformation – triple helix made up of amino acid chains. This is why such collagen can achieve what has been impossible for “collagen” which cosmetic science has used so far. Namely, it can replenish collagen deficits in the organs of the human body. The biologically active collagen preparations, which for several years have been available on the market, have proved that collagen of this kind makes it possible to certain extent to reverse the effects of ageing. By replenishing the collagen deficits in the dermis, it can both make us look younger and prevent various disfunctions and defects of skin. Since biologically active collagen is too delicate to apply synthetic chemical substances in the process of its manufacturing and storage, it is thus perfectly tolerated even by very sensitive skin. The skin recognizes it as “friendly” and lets it penetrate inside.                                                                                                                                             Inventia Polish Technologies Sp. z o.o. was established in 2003. The first product created by the company was the proprietary Inventia® Natural Collagen. Subsequently, the company's offerings included additional unique cosmetics based on native, natural collagen. The year 2007 was another important milestone in the company's history. That year, Inventia Polish Technologies Sp. z o.o. expanded its offerings with the first dietary supplement containing native, freeze-dried collagen. In 2009, Inventia Polish Technologies Sp. z o.o. was the first company in Poland to obtain certification for the Integrated Quality and Food Safety Management System. Inventia Polish Technologies Sp. z o.o. It continues to grow rapidly, expanding into new markets year after year. Since its inception, the company has been creating the highest quality, innovative cosmetics for women who, despite their age, want to maintain a healthy, youthful, and attractive appearance. In response to changing customer demands, Inventia Polish Technologies Sp. z o.o., drawing on extensive experience and a highly qualified staff, continually improves and expands its offerings.
