Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It is found in bones, muscles, skin and tendons. Collagen provides structure to the body and helps to hold tissue together. Collagen plays a key role in helping to maintain healthy muscle strength, healthy joint tissue, healthy skin elasticity and healthy hair and nails. Hydrolysed collagen has been broken down into smaller amino acid chains or segments known as collagen peptides. This process improves absorption and bioavailability of the collagen for the building blocks of our bodies.

There are several different types of collagens. Collagen is a crucial building block of the tissues in the body. Types I and III account for 90% of the collagen in the human body; thus, supplementation of types I and III can be beneficial for the body. Marine sources of collagen do not contain Type III collagen, making the collagen found in Pure Collagen+ ideal for skin, hair and nails, as well as active bone and muscle.

Pure Collagen+ is suitable for men and women seeking to promote healthy collagen production for the very best in self-care. Collagen as the most abundant protein in the body is essential for both women and men. Collagen production declines by 1% to 1.5% in early adulthood. If collagen is not maintained, skin loses elasticity and joints may not function as well. Collagen helps joints, maintains healthy muscle strength and provides skin and hair health. Since both men and women are concerned about maintaining healthy bodies, this is good for appearance as well as physical performance during exercise and day-to-day activities. Decreased amounts of collagen may mean you may notice changes in your hair, appearance of your skin and changes in joint comfort.

If you are vegan or allergic to any of the ingredients in Pure Collagen+, you should not use this product. Pure Collagen+ contains bovine collagen, which means it uses animal byproducts. As with any change in supplementation, consult your primary physician before using.

Collagen products are created with animal sources; this is only to obtain the collagen necessary. Collagen is sourced from animals such as bovine and marine animals, not the actual meat itself. Collagen cannot be sourced from plants themselves, but consuming enough plants from diverse plants or leafy greens may assist the body’s production of collagen.

Collagen is regarded as safe to take. Teens aged 13 to 19 would benefit from collagen intake since it may support joint health, help maintain healthy muscle and promote bone health. As with any supplement, we recommend that you talk with your paediatrician before introducing your child to collagen, as each child’s nutritional needs will differ.

It can be taken anytime throughout the day as desired. Take first thing in the morning or before a meal (on an empty stomach) for digestive health, one hour before exercise to assist with muscle and joint comfort, or before bed for restful sleep.

Pure Collagen+ has a neutral flavour that can be mixed in water, stirred into coffee or added to shakes and smoothies. Pure Collagen+ mixes best with liquids that are room temperature or warmer without any aftertaste. Adding it to colder drinks may cause it to lump together. Try it in your favourite drink any time of day.

Vitamin C plays an important role in collagen production. Without vitamin C, the body is not able to create collagen. Vitamin C helps stimulate collagen production and maintenance. Taking Isotonix® Vitamin C, Isotonix Essentials Women’s Health*, Isotonix OPC-3® Beauty Blend* or Isotonix Daily Essentials would support the production of collagen since they contain vitamin C. *Available on SHOPGLOBAL.COM
