Our first anti-aging nutraceutical product:Pure CollagenX, an exceptional food supplement based on bioactive bovine collagen peptides specifically designed to promote the well-being of all tissues in which collagen is naturally present.
One of the key features ofPureCollagenXit is hydrolyzed collagen, enzymatically split into bioactive peptides, small molecules, which make the product highly bioavailable, assimilable by the body and easily digestible.
This collagen formulation helps promote the well-being of skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, cartilage, and all other connective tissues.PureCollagenXis characterized by the purity and quality of the raw material (the cows are raised on grass pasture in Switzerland), the collagen powder is odorless and tasteless, therefore it can be easily added to any drink without altering the taste, furthermore it is easily soluble in both hot and cold drinks.
Several studies have confirmed the positive effects of taking collagen on the skin. The skin appears more hydrated, elastic and compact. On a functional level, it works by stimulating the endogenous production of collagen. Drinking collagen works with two different modes of action: it directly provides the body with the building blocks to produce further collagen and it binds to the receptors of fibroblasts (connective tissue cells that produce collagen) further stimulating its production. Once ingested it enters the blood circulation. In general, with aging the production of collagen fibers decreases, collagen becomes unstable and the skin tends to sag. Wrinkles form as a result. However, the reduction of collagen molecules also exposes us to other risks: joints become more fragile, as do bones, teeth, hair and nails. Collagen, taken as a supplement, acts like "glue": it supports the body structure and tissue cohesion, and is not only conveyed to the skin, but to all connective tissues.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a protein that represents 6% of our body weight. In humans, the family of these proteins is made up of 28 different types of collagen, distinguished by Roman numerals (collagen I, collagen II, collagen X...) and, depending on the area of the body in which they are found, they have different characteristics.
Bovine collagen has a prevalence of Type I collagen (present in: bones, skin, tendons, ligaments, cornea) and III (present in: skin, blood vessel walls, reticular fibers of the lungs, liver, spleen). Regardless of its origin, collagen contains 19 amino acids, including hydroxyproline which is not found in other proteins. The content of hydroxyproline, together with that of proline and glycine, probably represents the most important aspect from a nutritional point of view. The main role of collagen is structural: it contributes to the mechanical properties, organization and shape of tissues, and it is also a filling protein, which gives support, elasticity and protection to all connective tissues.
As we age, collagen production decreases and its degradation increases, consequently damaging our connective tissue.
Even incorrect lifestyles can damage collagen: cigarette smoking, a diet rich in simple sugars, excessive exposure to sunlight, excessive alcohol consumption and reduced intake of foods rich in vitamin C are factors capable of weaken our collagen. In fact, with age, cross-links (particular elements that bind collagen molecules) increase and this condition makes collagen less elastic and more fragile.
Furthermore, if in young people there is a balance between collagen production and its degradation, in the elderly this balance is shifted towards degradation. Therefore, starting from the age of 30, the body "destroys" more collagen than it produces: the result is a decrease in the general levels of this protein in the body.
