 | What is Collagen Hx™ Powder? Collagen Hx™ supplies bovine collagen protein. Collagen is a structural protein for rebuilding and maintaining the tissues of our body. 25% of our total body protein is made out of collagen. As we age our collagen production slows, making it more difficult to maintain the health of our joints, skin, hair, nails, bones and muscles. Collagen is a natural source of peptides, hydroxylysine, hydroxyproline, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, keratins and other nutrients used by the body to manufacture important tissues. The herb Boswellia serrata is added to support joint comfort and the mineral Silica is included to increase the benefits for the skin, hair, nails and bones. Where does Collagen come from? Our Collagen is from New Zealand free range cattle and it is tightly regulated by the New Zealand government. How can I benefit? Collagen supplies all of the ingredients to support the joint and its cushioning-shock absorbing synovial fluid. As we age we create less collagen and collagen supplementation is directly utilized by our tissues, as well as alerting our body to the fact that it has to restart its own collagen production. As we age our skin thins and looses elasticity and taking collagen supplies important nutrition for aging, sagging skin. Nail strength benefits and so does the strength of the hair. Collagen protein is used to build the framework of the bone and also to heal important tissues such as muscle, ligament, tendon and intestinal lining. |
