Super Collaforce helps maintain the well-being of bones, skin and cartilage.

Collagen is a structural protein of muscles, joints, bones and tendons, skin, nails, and hair which forms tissue support fibers, therefore being an essential protein in the general well-being of our body.

This protein is essential for the health of the osteoarticular system. This system includes connective tissue, such as bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The main functions are to provide rigid support to the body, protect organs and other tissues, and create and control movements.

Cartilage consists of cells called chondrocytes and an extensive extracellular matrix composed of fibers which not only gives resistance to the cartilage, but also allows it to withstand weight and achieve considerable tension forces. Collagen, hyaluronic acid, proteoglycans and other glycoproteins are the main macromolecules present in all types of cartilage matrices.

Collagen is also essential for the structure and function of the skin. With aging, photoexposure and exposure to stressors, the appearance and characteristics of the skin change. The skin is one of the organs that undergoes the most transformation with age, especially due to collagen.

With aging our body loses collagen. By age 30, the body loses 1% of collagen per year. At 50 years of age, less than 40% of the collagen needed is produced.

For better absorption, hydrolyzed collagen appears to show greater evidence of restoring joint health. Hydrolyzed collagen is a more bioavailable form of collagen, obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of collagenous tissue. Hydrolysis leads to the breakdown of the collagen molecule into peptides and, as a consequence, causes a greater number of exposed nuclei with side chain carboxylic groups, resulting in greater efficiency in mineralization. The intake of hydrolyzed collagen covers the necessary amounts of essential amino acids for the stability and regeneration of connective tissue, in a bioavailable form.
