Collagen is a type of protein made up from amino acids. Its fibre-like structure is used to make connective tissue and in a human body it is present in bones, joints, cartilage, tendons, muscles, blood vessels, teeth, eyes, skin and nails. Although it is abundant in our bodies, collagen levels gradually decline with age - around 25 we lose the ability to rebuild quantitative and qualitative collagen; there are factors that may contribute to its faster decline, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, shortage of sleep, excessive exposure to sunlight. It is thought that physical exercise can lower collagen levels too.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a slippery substance naturally produced by human body - average 70 kg (150 lb) person has about 15 grams of HA in the body. Its role is to keep moisture in and lubricate connective tissue, skin, bones and joints. It plays vital role in wound healing too. It is a well known ingredient of eye drops that help relieve symptoms of dry eye.
Taking Collagen supplements may improve health and look of your skin, nails and hair. Some studies have shown that collagen may improve health of your bones and joints.
The benefits of Hyaluronic Acid supplements are thought to be: maintenance of skin hydration and improving overall skin condition and look - so we think that it is a good companion to collagen as a dietary supplement.
Our Marine Collagen is hydrolysed - in short, this means its molecules are broken down into smaller particles (peptides), making them more bioavailable and much easier absorbable in human body. We have further fortified the Collagen/HA combination with a high dose of 8 important vitamins.
Flavour: Orange, sweetened with Stevia.
