Collagen is a complex structural protein that maintains strength and flexibility throughout the body. Collagen + C consists of collagen peptides type 1 & 3 which support collagen in skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones. Collagen + C is enzymatically hydrolyzed, which gives an amino acid ratio with a low molecular weight for maximum bioavailability and utilization by the body. When collagen is taken internally, the body receives the raw materials needed to supplement collagen found in all these areas and can act as a messenger to trigger the synthesis of new collagen fibers. Vitamin C is added to provide optimal supplementation of your dietary habits collagen needs.
Suggested use as a dietary supplement, take three (3) veg. capsules twice daily preferably on an empty stomach for maximum absorption and wait 30 minutes before eating.
Collagen type 1 & 3 Advantages:
Provides specific amino acids needed to replenish the body’s collagen supply Helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin elasticity Builds and supports bone matrix Corrects weak, broken, split and damaged nails beds Thickens fine hair, adds body and slows hair Repairs loss of connective tissue for improved elasticity, improves circulation, promotes wound healing Glycine builds muscle to burn fat while you sleep.
Collagen: The Body Anti-Aging protein
Collagen supplementation is one of the most basic things a person can do to prevent premature aging and promote youthful vitality. Understanding Collagen starts with knowing that it really is the glue that holds the body together, it is the building block for all of our body’s major systems. Although abundant in our youth, the body’s natural production of collagen typically slows at a rate of 1.5% per year after age 25. As this production of collagen slows down, the collagen fibers in the body become fragile and begin to break down, resulting in many of the telltale signs of aging, such as loose, sagging skin, wrinkles, ligament and tendon damage, and osteoarthritis. Collagen + C uses Collagen type 1 & 3, which is 90% of the body’s total collagen supply and the most important constituents of collagen in skin, hair, nails, ligaments, tendons, bones and muscles.
The Science of Collagen
Collagen 1 & 3 is composed of nineteen amino acids and is a rich source of glycine, proline, alanine, and hydroxyproline. When taken orally, peptides can be produced that stimulate fibroblast cells to produce and organize new collagen fibers that, when bundled, can build the mechanical strength of the connective tissue and strengthen the extracellular matrix.
Collagen Advanced bioavailability
Collagen + C uses an advanced enzymatic hydrolysis process to break the large collagen molecules into low molecular weight peptides that are both bioavailable and bioactive in the body. Collagen + C contains hydroxypro-line and hydroxylysine, two amino acids specific to collagen. These are not regularly found in amino acid supplements and are particularly important to the production of collagen. Collagen + C genetically parallels the amino acid structure of the body’s collagen and its shown that people who hydrolyzed collagen type 1 & 3 will experience 90% absorption into the bloodstream where cellular changes.
The difference between collagen type 1 & 3 and collagen type 2:
Scientific studies show that more than 90% of the collagen found in the body is collagen type 1 & 3. The protein composition consists of nineteen amino acids responsible for the growth and maintenance of the body with unusually high percentages of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, all of which are found in the skin and muscle. The collagen type 2 protein consists of eighteen amino acids, which amino acid changes profile parallel the profile of articular cartilage. Collagen type 1 & 3 and collagen type 2 should not be combined due to the types having different amino acid profiles. If taken together, the two proteins will bond and form a complete protein and the body will not recognize it as collagen. It is recommended that if you want to take both sources of collagen protein, it should be done at least one hour apart.
