Previously collagen could not be produced in a form that could pass directly through the intestine wall and into the blood-stream intact and the only way was by injection. The problem with collagen injections is that they are only effective locally around the site of the injection, just plumping up the skin, and are very expensive. Now that collagen has been produced in a form that can pass directly into the blood-stream intact, a whole new anti-ageing system has become available to everyone. Once we pass our late 20's our body's have less collagen than they could use and a slow decline starts, but by ingesting Collagen into the blood-stream, we are changing that situation. Surprisingly, the presence of the collagen that you have ingested also stimulates the body's own collagen production.
What Happens?
During the first few hours of sleep we go into what is called the Alpha Sleep phase of the brains sleep cycle. During this cycle the brain's pituitary gland (a vital part of the endocrine system) releases hormones into the blood-stream and we go into the rejuvenate, repair & replace mode (the collagen being the essential part of protein synthesis). Having the correct hormones and Collagen available, the body can
synthesize all the protein it needs, not only to do the "essential to staying alive" repair & renewal work, but also essential repair & renewal like re-building the skin, strengthening ligaments, cartilage and bone, normalizing the immune system. In other words, the body begins to try and do all of the things that
took place when we were a young and growing person.

Collagen can reduce oxidative damage to joints and stimulate reductions in joint-pain, tenderness and swelling.

Collagen naturally consists of 15% glucosamine and 15% chondroitin sulphate - two substances renowned for their beneficial anti-inflammatory properties.
It functions as a chondro-protective agent and protects cartilage and synovial fluid against deterioration.
