Complete Collagen

Collagen is a vital protein that constitutes up to 30% of the body's total protein content. It serves as a key structural component of connective tissues and plays multiple different roles.

It aids in the development of organs, heals wounds and tissues, and assists in the repair of the cornea, gums, scalp, bones, and blood vessels. Collagen is essential in the structural integrity and function of bones, tendons, ligaments, skin, and muscles.

The Fortibone® collagen peptide blend has been clinically proven to enhance bone health. The Fortigel® blend is particularly beneficial for managing symptoms of osteoarthritis, such as knee and low back pain.

Verisol®, another collagen peptide blend, is shown to improve skin health. Studies have found that it upregulates the synthesis of collagen, elastin, fibrillin, and glycosaminoglycans in the dermal layer of facial skin, resulting in reduced wrinkles and improved skin elasticity.

Collagen peptides, when ingested, are digested and broken down into individual amino acids by the body's cells. These amino acids then serve as essential building blocks for the synthesis of new collagen. This process is vital for maintaining the strength and integrity of various tissues such as skin, bones, and connective tissues.

The synthesis and stabilization of new collagen require several cofactors—key nutrients that facilitate crucial biochemical reactions. These include vitamin C, silicon, iron, sulfur, and copper. Vitamin C, for instance, is vital as it directly contributes to the maturation of collagen by aiding in the conversion of procollagen (the precursor to collagen) to its functional form, which can be effectively utilized by tissues. Similarly, minerals like silicon and copper play roles in linking collagen fibers together, enhancing tissue strength and elasticity.

This sequence of breaking down collagen peptides and utilizing them with the help of cofactors results in the rejuvenation and repair of bodily tissues, promoting overall health and functionality.

This process not only helps maintain the structure and resilience of the skin, enhancing its appearance and preventing premature aging but also supports the health of bones and joints.
