Let's start with what happens to your body as you age.
In your teen's and early 20's there is an abundance of
growth hormone and this promotes the growth of muscles
tendons and ligaments, and collagen is used as the
building protein for this growth.
When we get in to our mid twenties obviously the growth
hormone diminishes and stops and the collagen produced
by the liver is then used to promote healthy muscles
and build existing muscles.
However from the age of about 25 the amount of collagen
produced by our bodies reduces at a rate of between
1 to 1 1/2% per annum. This means that by the age of 45
you have approximately 75% of the collagen in your body
that is needed for optimum health.
From a beauty therapists point of view you will be
concerned about the reduction of collagen in the dermis
but this represents only a small percentage of the
collagen in our bodies.
An area that it is equally beneficial for, is that of
rebuilding connective tissues.
With a reduction in collagen the connective tissues
deteriorate and this makes it more difficult for
transportation of toxins from the cells to the lymphatic
system.
It also impedes movement of nutrition and hydration that
has a detrimental effect on the health and therefore the
appearance of the skin and other cells.
When the connective tissue breaks down and the body finds
it more difficult to move toxins to the lymphatic system
it only has one other alternative and that is to wrap the
toxins in an envelope of fat.
This manifests itself as cellulite in women and general
overweight in men. Because the body is using fat as a
protection it doesn't follow that the person has to be
overweight for cellulite to form, in fact extremely slim
people are just as much at risk of getting cellulite than
overweight people e.g. Kylie Minogue.
Taking an effective collagen supplement rebuilds the
connective tissues, therefore allowing movement of toxins
and fats for disposal and nutrition and hydration back to
the cells for general health.
Up until now the most common sources of Collagen have been
derived from sharks, chickens and bovine. Plant collagen
is very different to animal collagen and therefore has an
extremely low absorption rate.
Shark collagen from shark cartilage tends to be very
expensive and although has some merit in cancer prevention,
the absorbency rate for humans is still quite low.
Collagen from chickens is quite a good source and this
type is particularly suited to joint relief.
Bovine collagen is the most potent and closest in type
to our own. However the normal way to extract collagen
is to remove it from the hide and check it for purity.
It is then dried, added to a buffer, and put in capsules.
Even though bovine source is the most potent producing
capsules by this method, it still only ends up with a
product that is 15% bioavailable (amount absorbed into
the body).
These types of collagen are now probably a thing of the
past as a recent breakthrough now means you can get
collagen tablets with a more than 95% absorbency rate
to the body.
The recent development of a Collagen Type 2 Tablet now
means the lost cartilage can be replaced without surgery
and it completely naturally rebuilds the connective
tissues needed for a healthy body.
There are many other collagen products on the market but
it is due to the patented process that they produce their
collagen through that sets it apart from anything else
you could buy.
They take the collagen and under pharmaceutically sterile
conditions nourish the amino acid chains in the collagen
so they start to grow.
This whole process takes between 2 1/2 to 3 months, at
this point the amino acid chain is as near as can be to
our own and is readily absorbed in to the body giving
over 95% absorbency making them about 6 times more potent
than most of the best alternatives on the market.
On taking these tablets you should therefore notice the
following effects:
Overall improvement of skin condition and texture
Hydration of skin
Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
Strengthening of nails
Improvement of condition of hair
Reduction of cellulite
Conditioning of muscle tissue
Gradual reduction of body fat
Over and above these aesthetic improvements there is also
an improvement in the general well being of joints and
cartilage as collagen naturally includes glucosamine and
chondroitin.
This relieves arthritic pain very quickly and continued
use will have the effect of "curing" your arthritis as
the cartilage in your joints is replaced.
Collagen was originally developed for arthritis treatment
although in recent years it has been linked mainly to the
health and beauty market where the only way to get pure
collagen was by injections.
This development now means that everyone has an easy and
accessible way of replenishing the collagen their body
needs, which should mean that eventually arthritis will
be history for a lot of people.
If you want further information on how these Collagen
Type 2 Tablets can eliminate your arthritic pain and
rejuvenate your skin and body there is a website at

your questions.
