Why is lack
of collagen a
problem?
|
|
Depletion of
collagen in
the skin is
the main
reason for the
formation of
fine lines,
wrinkles and
the appearance
of ageing.
Depletion of
collagen in
connective
tissue,
tendons,
ligaments,muscles
and cartilage
can result in
the reduction
of support for
the joint
structure of
the body
contributing
to such
conditions as
arthritis and
muscular
skeletal
injuries.
Collagen is
the glue that
holds our
bodies
together. it
is the most
abundant
structural
protein in the
body and
accounts for
some 76% of
the skin,
muscles and
connective
tissue. It is
therefore one
of the body's
most vital
components. It
is generally
acknowledged
that the body
loses collagen
at a rate of
approximately
1.5% per annum
from the age
of 25
onwards.
Consequently
there is a
shortfall of
some 30% by
the age of 45.
Proper
collagen
balance in the
body is thus
highly
desirable, and
crucial if
your looks and
facial
structure are
to be
maintained as
well as peak
muscle
performance,
which is
essential for
all who enjoy
physical
exercise.

This problem
can now be
addressed by
taking
collagen in
the form of
collagen
capsules.
These are
absorbed into
the
bloodstream
within 5 - 10
minutes.
As collagen
can have a
powerful
anabolic
effect, the
capsules can
be taken
before
exercise, increasing
both energy
and
performance by
helping build
lean muscle.
It is
therefore an
excellent aid
in fighting
cellulite. It
is a natural
substance that
is non-toxic
with no
known side
effects.

What does
collagen
contain?
|
|
Collagen
naturally
contains both
glucosamine
and chondrotin
which makes it
very
beneficial for
rehabilitation
from sore
joints,
muscles or
arthritic
conditions.

Research in
the US at Cape
Western
University
looked at 400
patients with
arthritic
knees from the
US, Germany
and Britain.
Some were
given a
placebo whilst
others were
treated with
collagen. The
latter showed
a significant
reduction in
pain and an
improvement in
joint
mobility, with
93% achieving
positive
results, some
after only two
weeks.
Collagen also
targets skin,
nail and hair
health. Top up
your natural
collagen
supply and
notice your
nails become
less brittle
and your hair
will become
more elastic
and shiny.
Skin will also
be kept
elastic and
youthful in
appearance,
slowing the
signs of
ageing by
reducing he
appearance of
fine
lines.
Proto-col
collagen is
the highest
grade pure
collagen
supplement
available in a
highly
absorbable
form.

Directions
for
use:
|
|
Each capsule
of gelatine
contains 400mg
of pure
collagen
hydrolysate.
The suggested
minimum dosage
is 3 capsules
per night. For
best results
the capsules
should be
taken one hour
after eating
before
bedtime. This
is because the
peak period
for repair and
regeneration
is during the
first two
hours of sleep
known as the
alpha
cycle. Higher
dosage can be
safely taken
as needed for
acute
problems. We
recommend that
you drink 1.5
litres of
water daily.
The capsules
can also be
taken before
exercise or
physical
activity. It
has been
documented
that the best
results for
the connective
tissue are
obtained when
collagen is
taken on a
regular and
on-going
basis. It is
therefore
recommended
that an
initial three
month program
is undertaken
but results
can be seen
and felt as
quickly as
within seven
to ten days
depending on
age or
injury.
