Collagen formula pro 60 capsules Vitals

Product description

Collagen Formula Pro is the result of a search for the best forms of collagen, of the highest quality and with the most solid foundation. This product contains undenatured collagen type I, V and X from eggshell membrane (Ovomet®) and undenatured collagen type II (UC-II®). The formula is completed with a superior form of vitamin C (Ester-C®), which is important for collagen production and good for cartilage. These ingredients form a strong trio whose components complement each other very well. Collagen Collagen comes from the Greek ?????, which means 'to bind together'. Collagen fibers are the most important extracellular proteins in the human body, which provide structure, strength, cohesion and elasticity. Collagen fibers are part of various types of support tissues, such as connective tissue, cartilage and bones. There are no fewer than 28 types of collagen. The most common form in the human body is collagen type I. It is found in tendons, ligaments and bone tissue, among other things. Other forms, such as collagen type II, V and X are more specialized and occur in smaller amounts in specific areas. For example, cartilage consists mainly of type II (and also a small amount of, among others, type X). All forms of collages have a common structure. Collagen fibers are made up of bundles of collagen fibrils, which in turn are made up of strands of collagen molecules (see picture). These molecules consist of three protein chains arranged in a special triple spiral structure. Collagen for use in food supplements is always of animal origin, as collagen does not occur naturally in plants. Collagen fiber construction Undenatured collagen type II Collagen Formula Pro contains collagen type II (from chicken cartilage) with the brand name UC-II®. This collagen is produced by Interhealth, a renowned American supplier. Interhealth has invested a lot in the scientific underpinning of this product. Several human studies with UC-II® have been performed with good results. An important distinguishing point with UC-II® is that it concerns a so-called 'undenatured' form of collagen type II. That is, the collagen is still present in the product in its original form and still has the same spatial (spiral) structure that can be recognized as such by the body. Unlike 'denatured' collagen type II, which is also available as a supplement. The collagen is processed by means of a hydrolysis step (whereby a splitting of the collagen into smaller peptides takes place under the influence of a chemical reaction with water). This changes the spatial structure of the molecule, which is unfavourable. In comparison: UC-II® with undenatured collagen type II requires a daily dose of only 40 mg, while denatured collagen type II usually requires several grams. Eggshell membrane The inside of an egg contains a thin membrane that is rich in nutrients to support the development and protection of the chick. This membrane is attached to the eggshell and is therefore usually lost during the regular consumption of eggs. Eggnovo, the Spanish producer of Ovomet® (the brand name of the eggshell membrane ingredient in Collagen Formula Pro), has found a way to put eggshells from chicken eggs that are usually considered a waste product to good use. Using a natural production process based on water extraction, the membrane is separated from the inside of the egg and processed for use in food supplements. This mild production method ensures that the beneficial properties of the eggshell membrane are preserved, including the spatial structure of the collagen present. Ovomet® is, among other things, rich in collagen type I in the powerful undenatured form. In addition, it contains undenatured collagen type V and X. Since it is a real natural product, Ovomet® also contains other ingredients such as elastin (approx. 20%), hyaluronic acid (approx. 4%), glucosamine (approx. 2 %), chondroitin (approx. approx. 2%), keratin (approx. 1%), lysozyme (approx. 1%) and over 500 different types of proteins. Several human studies have also been conducted with Ovomet®. Vitamin C Collagen Formula Pro is supplemented with Vitamin C as Ester-C®. This patented raw material consists of vitamin C in the non-acidic form of calcium ascorbate. In addition, it contains some natural metabolites of vitamin C (such as threonic acid), which makes Ester-C® unique. The benefits of Ester-C® include that it is absorbed into the body faster and is retained longer than regular vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid. It therefore has more time to be effective, so that a lower dose can suffice. The various beneficial effects of vitamin C on health have been extensively described in the scientific literature. Vitamin C fits perfectly in this collagen formula because it contributes, among other things, to normal collagen formation. Vitamin C is a co-factor for three different enzymes involved in the production of collagen. These three enzymes catalyze the coupling of a hydroxyl (OH) group to the amino acids L-lysine and L-proline (which are part of the collagen molecule) to stabilize collagen's special triple spiral structure. Normal collagen formation is important, among other things, for the production, construction and normal functioning of cartilage, and for the composition of bone tissue. Permitted health claims: vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal functioning of the cartilage vitamin C plays a role in bone formation NB: Vitals cannot provide (complete) information about the / all applications of this supplement.
