Osavi Collagen Peptides - Hydrolyzed Type 1 & 3 - 600g

Do you want to ensure the strength of the tissues that build your body? Pay attention to the diet that favours the formation and reconstruction of collagen, which is the most important protein that forms tissues, as well as to the factors that impair its synthesis. Collagen provides the mechanical strength of tissues and its proper production is important to maintain health and avoid signs of premature ageing of the body. 

Collagen constitutes about 30% of all proteins found in the human body ^[1]. Depending on the type of collagen, it has different functions, is characterised by a different structure and place of occurrence. The most common are type I collagen (present in tendons, bones, skin and subcutaneous tissue) and type III collagen (present in skin, muscles and vessels). The main task of collagen is to provide mechanical strength to the tissues in which it is found. It corresponds, among others, to the appropriate elasticity, tension and smoothness of the skin. All this is due to the structure of collagen molecules, which are characterised by high tensile strength and mechanical resistance ^[2]. Therefore, it is rightly associated with maintaining a youthful appearance. A healthy, young body has the ability to reproduce collagen, which is systematically rebuilt and keeps the body in top shape. However, with age, the ability to regenerate collagen fibres gradually disappears. Such a decline occurs after the age of 25, and this skill drops sharply after the age of 50. ^[3]. Factors that impair the synthesis of collagen in the body include: menopause, diet low in protein, vitamin C deficiency, excessive exposure to the sun, stress, insufficient sleep, smoking, intense exercise and extreme sports, as well as elevated blood glucose levels ^[4,5,6].

Osavi Collagen in the form of powder are easily absorbable, highly purified beef collagen peptides with a neutral taste and smell.They are derived from collagen types I and III, so they contain as many as 18 amino acids, including high concentrations of the essential collagen-building amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. A daily serving provides 20 g of collagen peptides, which you can easily measure with the included measuring cup.. Collagen can be dissolved in water, juices, cocktails or added to meals. It is an easy and pleasant way to supplement your diet with essential amino acids that are the building material of collagen proteins. Take care of healthy tendons, bones, muscles, skin, vessels and tissues with our Osavi Collagen.
