bulletWhat is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein that up about 25% of the protein in the human body. There are 14 different types of collagen, with Chicken Collagen Type II, and Hydrolyzed Collagen being the most predominant. 

bulletWhat is Chicken Collagen?
Chicken Collagen is an abundant source of collagen II that is the main structure building block of joint cartilage. Chicken Collagen II is easy to absorb providing nourishment directly to the joints. Its absorption rate is around 70% to 90%, while shark cartilage is only 8%. It is naturally rich in proteoglycans such as glucosamine sulfate, Chrondroitin Sulfate, and Hyaluronic Acid as well as a newly discovered protroglycan called Cartilage Matrix Glycoprotein (CMGP). These proteoglycans work together in alleviating inflammation and protecting the cartilage from enzyme and oxidative damage to the joints. Hyaluronic Acid is an impressive pain reliever and integral part of synovial fluid that lubricates the joints. Collagen is also an important component of bones.   Double-blind studies done by Dr. Trentham at Beth Israel Hospital have shown that the ingestion of Chicken Collagen II can reverse the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
 
What is Hydrolyzed Collagen?
Hydrolyzed collagen protein (HCP) is also known as gelatin. Collagen is the chief structural protein that makes up connective tissues in the body (skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments). Hydrolyzed collagen is simply a modified form of the protein that has been broken down into smaller pieces by enzymes – which makes the protein easier to incorporate into dietary products and may ease the digestion and absorption of the amino acids by the intestine. HCP is often used as a general protein source in body building products because it is relatively inexpensive. HCP has most recently been used to promote joint health, nourish cartilage and bones and help athletes recover from exercise and sports-related injuries.

bulletTheory
As a general protein source, HCP is OK, but it’s not generally considered a good source of "high-quality" protein like you would find in meat, poultry, fish and in protein powders comprised of soy, egg or milk/whey proteins. On the one hand, HCP is a "poor" protein source because it is low in the sulfur containing amino acids such as cystine (cysteine) and methionine. On the other hand, however, HCP is the richest dietary source of the primary amino acids that make up the collagen molecule – glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, lysine and hydroxylysine. As a concentrated source of these collagen amino acids, HCP is thought to help nourish the collagen-containing tissues throughout the body – tissues such as cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments and skin.

Scientific Support
HCP has been used in Europe for decades as a dietary supplement and an alternative treatment for arthritis and osteoporosis. In several German and Czech studies, 7-10 grams of HCP per day for 30-90 days has been shown to decrease the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. In some studies, HCP was as effective as oral painkillers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and in others, subjects were able to decrease or discontinue their use of analgesic medications while consuming HCP. Although proponents of HCP consumption claim that they "rebuild" cartilage, this is merely speculation (though probably correct) based on the body of scientific data showing pain reduction.

These important nutrients are the primary elements for hair elasticity which provides strength, youthful, texture and resiliency for hair. Great for strong nails and for fighting wrinkles.

At least one German study has shown a suppression of bone breakdown in osteoporotic women and athletes recovering from intense exercise training or sports injuries appear to be able to do so faster when consuming HCP.

bulletSafety

No serious adverse side effects are known to exist for consumption of hydrolyzed collagen protein.

bulletValue
As a joint support supplement, HCP is clearly a better value in terms of cost compared to other popular joint supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM. It may be possible, however, that because HCP and glucosamine/chondroitin products target different parts of the cartilage structure (collagen and proteoglycans, respectively), one ingredient may work better than the other for some individuals. Several products have recently been developed to include combinations of several ingredients designed to work on different parts of the connective tissue matrix simultaneously.

Dosage
Clinical studies suggest that at least 7-10 grams per day over the course of 30-90 days is needed for reduction of pain in patients with moderate osteoarthritis. It is unknown whether lower doses would be as effective or if higher doses might even be more effective or work faster.

  • CLA apparently inhibits at least two enzymes. One enzyme breaks down fat in the blood and the other breaks down fat stored in fat cells. The end result is a reduction in fat deposits and increased use of fat reserves for energy

  •  ALC plays a vital role in the metabolism of fats to energy. Also is great for replenishing energy post workout.
