Neocell SUPER COLLAGEN POWDER, 6,600MG COLLAGEN TYPE 1 & 3, 198G

Super Collagen Powder TM Type 1 & 3: The word "collagen" is derived from the word kolla the Greek word for glue. Collagen is the strong fiber that weaves throughout our body for strength and support to literally hold the body together similar to glue yet stronger than steel wire. Daily the body repeats a cycle of collagen breakdown and rebuilding. As we age the process changes and it is estimated that since the body slows down in the rebuilding phases the body loses collagen at a rate of 1.5% per year from age 25 onwards. This collagen breakdown is what causes most visible signs of aging including wrinkles sagging skin joint pain and brittle nails.

The collagen peptides type 1 & 3 in Super CollagenTMsupport collagen in tendons ligaments hair skin nails and lean muscle. These two types of collagen are the main types found in connective tissue making up 90% of the body's total collagen content. Super CollagenTM is rich in hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine which are two key amino acids specific only to collagen and especially important to collagen production.

The benefits of supplementing with Super CollagenTM are twofold: the body is nourished with Collagen 1 & 3 where it is deficient and then Super CollagenTM acts as a messenger to trigger the synthesis of new collagen fibers. Super CollagenTM is derived from pharmaceutical food grade bovine collagen that is extracted from the dermal layer. Super CollagenTM is then enzymatically hydrolyzed providing a collagen amino acid ration with a low molecular weight for maximum bioavailability. Because Super Collagen genetically parallels the amino acid structure of our own body's collagen persons taking Super Collagen will experience a 90% absorption rate into the blood stream where cellular changes occur. 

As a dietary supplement add 6-8 ounces of water or juice slowly to one measuring scoop (included) of Super Collagen Powder once daily. Works best with a hand blender. Vitamin C work synergistically with Super Collagen Powder and it is recommended that either juice containing vitamin C or a Vitamin C supplement be taken with the Super Collagen Powder.
