What is High Strength Hydrolysed Collagen? Collagen is a structural protein found in most connective tissue, including joints and skin. Although collagen can be produced in the body, production may not meet our needs. As we age our ability to produce collagen declines too. This can lead to ageing of the skin and joint wear and tear. This comprehensive formula includes collagen along with co-factors to support your joints and skin. Collagen is an important component of joints, along with providing strength and stability it also important for flexibility of tendons & ligaments. This supplement could help to protect your joints from wear and tear. It is the most abundant protein found in the human body. As well as supporting the health of joints, collagen is the primary structural protein found in the skin. As we age our skin can become thinner and the loss of collagen can cause wrinkles to form. It is thought that collagen supplements may slow-down this process and encourage skin to maintain structure and elasticity. What’s in it? Hydrolysed collagen promotes the intestinal absorption of this protein, because it is a "pre-digested" collagen. Collagen undergoes a process of prior disintegration by enzymes to reduce the size of the peptides and increase their intestinal absorption. Hydrolysed collagen is better absorbed at the intestinal level and is better utilised by the human body. Alongside collagen, this formula also includes two amino acids – methionine and cystine – both of which are important for the body to produce collagen. Alongside these amino acids is vitamin C. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation as well as protects cells from oxidative stress. Acti-Fit Hydrolysed Collagen is flavoured with natural banana and mango powder. It is delicious simply mixed with water, although it can be stirred into any cold drink. How can it help me? Whilst the body can produce collagen, as we age this production does slow down.
