Collagen is the most abundant fibrous protein in the human body. Collagen is made by specialized cells in the skin, ligaments, bones and cartilage. Collagen is the glue that holds the body together. Between 25% and 35% of all protein in the body is made up of collagen and up to 70% of the proteins in the connective tissues are composed of collagen.
Dr. Friedlander’s Collagen Peptide is enzymatically broken down to a very low molecular weight that is easily assimilated and absorbed in the intestines without the further requirement of digestive enzymes in the body.
Dr. Friedlander’s Collagen Peptide (plain) has naturally occurring amino acids that are high in glycine, alanine, proline and lysine. Plain collagen is ideal for the person who needs to take extra collagen due to inflammation which has led to excessive wear and tear of cartilage, joints and/or musculoskeletal injuries. Please see the list below for long term effects of collagen.
Dr. Friedlander’s Amino Acid Collagen has the following additional amino acids:
Taurine - an antioxidant which offers a protective mechanism that supports the heart, liver and brain and energy function as well as end urance. Protects against glycation. Supports detoxification.
L-carnitine - supports energy metabolism.
Glycine - supports inflammation, insomnia and wound healing. Supports detoxification.
Long term effects of collagen helps support the following:
-repair of musculoskeletal injuries
-connective tissue
-improved joint flexibility
-increases bone density
-reduced pain
-immune function
-supports vascular function
-reduced inflammation
-improved hydration of connective tissues of the body
-improved signal induction
-improved sleep
-extra cellular matrix which supports the transportation of nutrients across the cell membrane
-protects cell against toxins (environmental, bacteria, virus)
-cell communication
-calcium uptake
-increased metabolic rate
-fine lines and wrinkles
Collagen supports sleep and restores, repairs and regenerates. It is ideal to take before bed.
