Multi Collagen Protein Types I, II & III Powder - 454 grs - Now Foods

• Hydrolyzed collagen – Type I, II and III
• Structuring protein (production decreases with age)
• With Vitamin C that contributes to the normal production of collagen

Collagen production decreases with age. We lose approximately 6% of collagen per decade and after the age of 30, this loss increases to 1% per year. This leads to the appearance of wrinkles as the skin's support weakens. However, other organic structures are also affected, such as the joints, which also contain collagen, especially type II collagen found in this formulation.

Cartilage is one of the body's primary connective tissues, providing flexibility and support to bone joints. One of the main diseases related to cartilage is osteoarthritis, which affects the joints, causing inflammation. Type II collagen, together with the immune system, helps maintain healthy joints, helping with joint mobility and flexibility.

Morphologically, type II collagen is quite similar to type I, but the latter is more abundant in the skin. As for type III, it can be more closely associated with the structure of veins and arteries, as well as certain organs such as the uterus, liver or kidneys.

Therefore, the scope of this supplement makes it ideal for the general maintenance of the various tissues of the body, in Men and Women, and it can be an added value for Women in Perimenopause and Menopause who feel more fragile at the osteoarticular level and are more likely to develop wrinkles, due to the drop in estrogen, since collagen peptide supplementation has been showing improvements in skin hydration and elasticity.

Albumin is an important protein in skin regeneration and health, and stabilizing its levels is a concern in the recovery of burn patients. In a 2020 study, collagen supplementation was shown to increase albumin levels and decrease them during the hospital stay of these patients.

Hydrolyzed collagen is more bioavailable, as it has undergone a protein breakdown process, resulting in small units with lower molecular weight and therefore better absorbed.
In this case, the collagen present in this formula is of bovine origin, from chicken bone broth and fish skin.

This supplement also provides Vitamin C, which contributes to the endogenous production of collagen, and Grape seed extract with a high antioxidant capacity, protecting the skin and the entire body from oxidative damage that causes tissue aging in the long term.
