Total Body Collagen Tabs - 180 tablets

It makes the skin fresh and elastic, bones and nails – healthy, relieves joint pain and supports the health of a number of organs and systems in the human body. These are not only claims of manufacturers of dietary supplements with collagen, but also facts proven by numerous scientific studies. Therefore, it is not surprising that this substance is gaining increasing popularity among people who pay special attention to their health and appearance.

What is collagen?

This organic compound is practically the most abundant protein in the human body. It is the main building block of connective tissue – skin, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, hair, nails. Collagen is also present in various organs, blood vessels and intestines.

Like other proteins, collagen is made up of amino acids. The three main ones are called proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline. They form protein fibrils that are linked together in a triple helix structure. Vitamin C, zinc, copper, and manganese are also needed to build it. These triple helices can be described as “protein ropes” that form the structure of connective tissue.

However, as we age, the body naturally begins to produce less collagen – protein levels drop by about 1 percent per year. As a result, the “ropes” loosen, which negatively affects the strength and elasticity of tissues – the skin becomes wrinkled and sags, hair thins, nails become more brittle. Excessive exposure to sunlight, smoking, alcohol and pollution also lead to a decrease in collagen levels.

Natural Factors Total Body Collagen™ dietary supplement contains hydrolyzed collagen, or collagen peptides. They have the same composition as regular collagen, but their amino acid chains are significantly shorter, which makes them easier for the body to absorb. The composition also includes hyaluronic acid, glutamine and biotin, which complement the effect of the protein.

The formula is similar to the powdered collagen (2632 NF) from the same product series, with the same composition and properties as its counterparts. Three times daily dosing with smaller amounts is a good alternative to the single daily dose of 10 g of powder, when collagen irritates the stomach when poured into it all at once.

What are the beneficial effects of collagen?
→ Slows down skin aging – Taking hydrolyzed collagen has been shown to counteract the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin caused by aging and external factors such as sunlight. The protein also helps maintain skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness.
→ Helps reduce joint pain – The cartilage tissue that protects the joints is made up mainly of collagen. Over the years, it begins to thin out, which leads to an increased risk of various joint problems such as osteoarthritis. A similar trend is also observed in active athletes. Scientific studies show that taking collagen supplements stimulates the production of cartilage tissue and thus contributes to reducing joint pain.
→ Helps build muscle mass – About 10% of muscle tissue in the human body is made up of collagen, which provides it with strength and ensures its normal functioning. Collagen taken as a supplement has been found to stimulate muscle growth and the formation of muscle proteins such as creatine.
Supports heart health – Collagen is also an important structural unit in blood vessels, which makes it important for the condition and function of the cardiovascular system. Its deficiency leads to weakening of the arteries and, respectively, to an increased risk of serious heart problems, including heart attack and stroke.

There is scientific evidence that taking collagen helps improve digestion and intestinal health, helps lose weight, and aids recovery after physical exertion.
