Doctor's Best Collagen Types 1&3 is a dietary supplement containing the highest quality collagen proteins types 1 and 3 subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis in order to ensure the right composition of amino acids conditioning effectiveness, absorption and proper use by the body.
This formula is designed for those who want to improve the condition of hair, skin, nails, tendons, ligaments and bones. In addition, it supports joint mobility, and thus makes you feel comfortable during physical activity and improves the quality of life.
Collagen - is the fundamental building block of connective tissue. Tissue-forming collagen proteins are made of four amino acids: glycine, proline, as well as hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, which are formed from proline and lysine through an enzymatic process that requires the presence of vitamin C. As the main component of tendons, it gives them high tensile strength, while in the skin it is responsible for its elasticity, smoothness and firmness - it is the loss of collagen that causes wrinkles.
Collagen fibers make up 25% of the intercellular substance in bone tissue. In older people, after the age of 45, there is a decrease in collagen synthesis, which weakens the physical resistance of the bones - they become brittle and more brittle.
Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and the main component of the skin, to which it gives elasticity, firmness and tensile strength.
Type III collagen, on the other hand, is commonly found in the tissues of the cardiovascular system and is involved in the wound healing process. Lack of this type of collagen causes stiffness in the arteries, which contributes to cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis.
Scientists have proven in studies that supplementation with collagen hydrolysate manifests protective properties and reduces pain symptoms caused by injuries and strains. Type 1 collagen proved clinically effective in osteoarthritis, where it showed anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects.
Another study confirmed that collagen use helps rebuild joint cartilage. Researchers also suggest that collagen hydrolysate rejuvenates the skin and protects it from the sun's UVB rays. It also prevents wrinkles by stimulating the synthesis of type 1 and type 4 collagen in skin tissue.
Collagen protein supplementation has another interesting benefit - it stimulates the secretion of growth hormone (GH). Studies have shown that after consuming collagen proteins, the increase in GH levels was much higher than after consuming a placebo, but collagen also proved to be more effective in this process than other categories of proteins: soy, dairy, alpha-lactalbumin.
But this is not the end of collagen's remarkable properties. Another study found that collagen proteins, as an abundant source of proline and glycine, increase muscle mass and muscle strength in response to strength training in older people with sarcopenia.
In summary, Doctor's Best Collagen Types 1&3 is a dietary supplement with comprehensive health-promoting and musculoskeletal-enhancing properties. It is especially recommended for athletes performing workouts with high stress on joints. It has a not inconsiderable effect on improving the quality of life of the elderly and those suffering from joint diseases. Collagen is also an excellent remedy for women who persistently want their skin to always look young, smooth, firm and wrinkle-free.
