Overview
Health Goals Impacted 3
This item supports, tracks, or is required for the following health goals:
Building blocks for intestinal tissue repair.
Collagen is unique because of its high content of Glycine and Proline. These amino acids are essential for healing the gut mucosa. Hydrolyzed peptides are easily absorbed and transported directly to connective tissues.
Provides Glycine and Proline for repair.
Collagen peptides accumulate in cartilage and stimulate the production of extracellular matrix. Taking 10-15g of collagen with Vitamin C (a cofactor) before exercise drives these amino acids directly into the tendons and ligaments being loaded.
It essentially "feeds" the white tissues that have poor blood supply.
Provides the building blocks for skin.
Hydrolyzed collagen provides bioavailable di-peptides (Proline-Hydroxyproline) that signal fibroblasts (skin cells) to produce more collagen and hyaluronic acid. It has been clinically shown to improve skin hydration and elasticity.
