Collagen Facts

Collagen
The word collagen is from the Greek, and translates as "glue producing".

The most essential building block in the natural world, Collagen is an essential ingredient that binds the animal kingdom together. Collagen is nature's most abundant protein polymer, accounting for 30% of our bodies protein, and 75% of our skin.

Without collagen our bodies would most certainly not be such great things to live in.
 

The Collagen Timebomb
Collagen acts as natures scaffolding for our bodies controlling the dynamics of our cells, and the regeneration of tissues, including bones when they break and the growth of blood vessels which aids healing and growth.

Vitally, collagen forms the barrier of fibrous protein element of skin, bone, cartilage and connective tissue, which lets our bodies move efficiently and without pain and discomfort.

Unfortunately as we get older our bodies produce less and less collagen, leaving us to complain of painful joints, wrinkles, limp hair, brittle nails and low energy levels.

And this can just be the start of what can go wrong without collagen in our bodies.

By adding collagen to our system it is possible to rejuvenate our bodies

Collagen Benefits

Collagen

Collagen holds our bodies together. The most abundant protein in the body, it accounts for some 85% of the skin, muscles and connective tissues.

From the age of 25, Collagen levels start to deplete at a rate of 1.5% every year, and by the age of 40 your body stops manufacturing collagen altogether. Re-introducing the correct form of pure collagen back in to your system will stimulate your natural collagen production.



Using Collagen

Smooths and Firms the Skin ~ Results vary dependent on age and skin type. Many users can see and feel a difference after the first few weeks, the skin becoming smoother with a reduction in frown lines and wrinkles, lips becoming fuller.

Relieves Joint Pain ~ Harvard Medical School reports in a clinical study that 89.9% of users who suffered from osteroperosis/arthritis feel better ease of movement and less pain.

Energy Boost ~ Taken before exercise or physical activity, Collagen can have a powerful anabolic effect, increasing both your energy and performance.



Take Collagen Safely

Supplements ~ Generally there are no known side effects or contra-indications, however if you are pregnant or have IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) it is recommended that you wait till the condition has passed.

Face mask and Skin Care ~ The good news is you can still use and enjoy the collagen face masks and collagen serum.



Collagen as Part of Your Lifestyle

The depletion of Collagen from your body is gradual. Similarly it is not possible to immediately replace or improve your Collagen 'stock' in one dose. Most benefit is derived when you take Collagen supplements over the longer term, generally a 3 to 6 month course is recommended, with results varying from person to person.



Add Collagen to a Drink

If you don not like swallowing capsules, you can break open 3 capsules of Collagen into fresh orange juice and mix. Our Proto-Col Pure Collagen is virtually tasteless and odourless.



How to take Proto-Col Collagen

Proto-Col Collagen is supplied in bottles of 90 capsules.

You will want to take 3 Capsules of Proto-Col Collagen if possible at least 3 hours after a main meal and just before going to sleep.

This offers you the most benefit and allows the Collagen to work alongside your body naturally during the first 1-2 hours of sleep. This is the peak period your body to repair, regenerate and rejuvenate, and is known as the alpha cycle. Work with your body to revitalize.

It is recommended that 1-2 litres of water should be drunk daily to allow optimum absorption of collagen by the body. Health experts generally agree that taking 2 litres (about 3 1/2 pints) of water daily is vital for you body anyway - whether or not you take supplements.

Taking Vitamin C will further enhance the absorption and achieve and give you optimum results.



See the Results

It takes approximately 5-10 minutes after ingestion for the Collagen to enter the blood stream.

The effects you receive increase the longer you take the supplements and tend to last for longer.

Many customers report encouraging results within the first few weeks, with a 3-6 month initial program giving you the most longer lasting benefits.
