The unique blend of PeptiCore Collagen is supported by clinical research showing its efficacy for collagen production, bone strength, joint health and integrity, and skin elasticity.* Collagen is a special type of protein that accounts for as much as 30% of the body’s total protein. It is a primary structural component of connective tissue. Collagen constitutes 75% of skin, 70% of ligaments, 65% to 80% of tendons, 50% of cartilage, 30% of tooth dentin, 16% of bone, 10% to 11% of muscle, and it is also part of the structure of arteries and veins.
The amino acid composition of dietary collagens is very similar to those in human collagens, making dietary collagen peptides ideal for supporting body collagen turnover and renewal. These processes are continual, so it’s important to ensure the body has enough raw materials to build healthy new tissue. Collagen proteins are rich in amino acids, hydroxyproline, glycine, and proline. Although other dietary proteins can provide these, collagen is a more concentrated source, which may play a role in supporting the strength and flexibility of bones, tendons, and cartilage, the appearance of skin and nails, and gastrointestinal tract health.* Supplementing with collagen peptides, such as those found in PeptiCore Collagen, may support healthy aging, skin, joints, bones, and muscles.*
