Taken as a supplement, this product provides the body with the raw material needed to support the strength and integrity of essential structures. Best Collagen Types 1 & 3 is enzymatically hydrolyzed into component amino acids with a low molecular weight for optimal absorption and utilization by the body. Vitamin C is added to the formula, as it is an essential nutrient required for collagen synthesis by the body.

Ingredients:
Collagen is the major structural protein in connective tissue and the most abundant protein in the human body. It is responsible for maintaining the strength and flexibility of bones, joints, skin, tendons, ligaments, hair, nails, blood vessels and eyes, among other tissues throughout the body.

Collagen Structure:
Collagen is a long, fibrous protein that makes up the extracellular matrix of connective tissue. The mesh of fibers that are formed by adjoining collagen molecules in tissues contributes to its structural and strength-giving properties. Conformationally, collagen is arranged in a triple helix, lending strength and integrity to the fiber matrix. Collagen molecules are particularly rich in four amino acids. While several other amino acid residues are contained within collagen, these four amino acids make up more than 50% of its structure. See how Chinese medicine treats Lumbago, Osteonecrosis.
