Collagen is the most abundant protein found in the Human body. It is the main component of all the connective tissue in the body. It makes up the connective tissue of the skin, which gives the skin its firmness, elasticity, and renewal of skin cells. Collagen also the main component in the makeup of hair and nails. The human body is made up of many joints. These joints are essential to movement and our ability to undertake daily tasks. Collagen makes up the connective tissue in the joints; the bones, ligaments, tendons and the skeletal muscles themselves are predominantly made up of collagen. Collagen also is found in the smooth muscle tissues in the body. Such as the blood vessels, digestive tract, heart, gallbladder, kidneys and bladder.   Features: Type I Collagen is the most abundant form of Collagen found in the human body. Hydrolyzed form of Collagen; a broken down gelatin that provides your body with easily digestible amino acids and functional peptides (2 or more amino acids bonded together). Type I Collagen is important, particularly in bone, skin, hair, and connective tissue, like ligaments. Type I Collagen is the most important Collagen for hair, skin, and nails, as it makes up 90% of them. Type III Collagen provides tensile strength and integrity for many of the hollow organs in the body that must have tensile strength, and also large blood vessels, both types of tissues that must withstand stretching. Type III Collagen is also found in many other tissues that are associated with Type I Collagen, such as bone, cartilage, dentin, tendons, skin, and other connective tissues. Type III Collagen helps form arterial walls, which is important in cardiovascular health.   Other Features:   20g Collagen Peptides per serving Grass-fed bovine collagen Non-GMO Unflavored, Unsweetened Mixes instantly No Gluten, Dairy, or Soy No fillers or Artificial Ingredients     Benefits:   Helps to strengthen and firm elastin in the dermis layer of skin, providing an anti- aging * Strengthens extracellular matrix and helps to form fibroblast to create new skin * Helps to improve the recovery time in healing wounds, cuts or burns on the skin.* Supports a healthy inflammation response, helping to reduce inflammation in those with autoimmune * Supports joint function and mobility, helping to improve range of motion.* Strengthens connective tissue and helps aid recovery from physical stress or * May help improve overall joint mobility, agility and strength in those with * Helps to fight against free-radical damage in skin, protecting melanocytes which supports an even * Helps to improve digestion by stimulating stomach acids, repairing the lining of the intestinal tract, and also aiding in the absorption of nutrients.*   Suggested Use: Add one (1) level scoop to 8-10oz. of chilled water or preferred beverage in a shaker cup and mix for about 5 seconds.

The human body is made up of many joints. These joints are essential to movement and our ability to undertake daily tasks. As we age, the integrity of our joints may become compromised. Injury, excess weight, poor nutrition, and disease can leave joints, stiff, swollen, achy, and with reduced mobility. Cartilage serves to protect the joints and is typically the first thing to be affected when problems develop. Type II Collagen is the major structural protein responsible for the tensile strength and resilience of cartilage. It comprises 85-90% of the collagen that makes up the smooth white tissue (articular cartilage) that covers the ends of the bones at the joint surface. Type II Collagen is also replete in glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulfate and Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Hyaluronic Acid is concentrated in the synovial fluid that fills the joint cavities which is responsible for reducing friction between the articulating joints and acts as a shock absorber.* Features: 500 mg of Type II Collagen (KollaGen-IIxs™) Provides 50 mg of naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Contains 100 mg of naturally occurring Chondroitin Sulfate Clinically studied to provide joint support Gluten Free   Benefits: KollaGen-IIxs™, taken in a dose of 500 mg three times daily, has been clinically shown to benefit joint health and improve mobility.* Type II collagen is a natural source of Hyaluronic Acid (HA); an essential component of synovial fluid that reduces friction and cushions joints.* Type II collagen contains naturally occurring glycoproteins which enhances the antioxidant protection within joints.* Chondroitin sulfate inhibits enzymes such as collagenase, elastase and proteoglycanase that can become overactive in joint degeneration, thereby compromising the integrity of these tissues.*   Suggested Use:  As a Dietary Supplement, take one (1) capsule, one (1) to three (3) times daily, 30 minutes before a meal, or as directed by a health care professional.   Ingredients   KollaGen-IIxs™ KollaGen II-xs™ is the result of more than a quarter of a Century of Collagen food supplement research.

The process of building and maintaining bone structure involves numerous biochemical and physiological processes. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two primary types of bone cells involved in maintaining skeletal structure. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone mineralization (building new bone). Osteoclasts are responsible for secreting acid and enzymes that help dissolve “old” bone ti sue into calcium and other components, some of which may be reused by the body. The balance of building and breaking down bone involves a complex interplay between various nutrients, hormones, and other biochemicals. Our Hi-Potency Calcium/Magnesium formula is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support some of the complex biochemical and physiological processes involved in building and maintaining a strong, healthy bone structure.†   Features Provides a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, two important nutrients essential for bone structure.
