Nutrients & Functions?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies and plays an important role in strengthening connective tissues. The word collagen derives from the Greek word for glue, Kólla, describing how it holds everything together.

Collagen supports the nervous system, contributes to energy and reduction of fatigue, normal psychological function, helps build the immune system, and protects cells from oxidative stress. It also supports the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilages, gums, skin, hair, nails, and teeth.

Type 1 collagen is the most frequently occurring collagen found in the body. Evidence suggests that from the age of twenty-five our body gradually loses the ability to rebuild itself. The older we are the less collagen we have stored in our body, this is where a collagen food supplement may help. Collagen food supplements need to be hydrolysed otherwise they will not be able to make their way into the areas it is needed. Before collagen is hydrolysed the molecules are huge, so they’d simply too big to be absorbed into the bloodstream when ingested.

The ingredient Vitamin C found in this high potency supplement contains approved EFSA health claims, to know more details check out Approved EFSA Health Claims list.
