Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder
Hydrolyzed (predigested for better absorption) powdered collagen (bovine source).
Arthred is hydrolyzed (predigested) powdered collagen (bovine source) for connective tissue support.*
*Connective tissue is found throughout the body.
Arthred® hydrolyzed collagen is a unique protein, containing high amounts of certain amino acids.
These amino acids have been linked to optimal body composition, healthy bone and connective tissue, healthy skin appearance, tissue anabolism, normal metabolism, and growth hormone secretion.
Arthred® hydrolyzed collagen is a unique protein, containing high amounts of certain amino acids, including glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and arginine:
- These amino acids have been linked to optimal body composition, healthy bone and connective tissue, healthy skin appearance, tissue anabolism, normal metabolism, and growth hormone secretion.
- Once hydrolyzed collagen is absorbed through the intestines, it increases the serum levels of these amino acids. They are then transported to joints where they act as raw materials for the metabolically active cartilage cells.
- Arthred® supports endogenous production of collagen, by both providing nutrition for the synthesis of proteoglycans, and by improving the function of chondrocytes.
- Articular chondrocytes are the cells that secrete the extracellular matrix of cartilage, and are of prime importance in the maintenance of a normal cartilaginous matrix.
- Hydrolyzed collagen can support the elasticity of connective tissue, help relaxation of musculature, support normal range of motion, and overall support the general condition.
Applications:
Arthred® hydrolyzed collagen have major benefits as a component of nutritional support for healthy connective tissue.
It has been widely used in clinics and hospitals, including use as a key nutritional support for the elderly and hospitalized.
