When most people hear of collagen as a supplement, they think of anti-aging and aesthetics. That is a popular purpose for collagen, however, collagen has a reach that goes far beyond skin, hair and nails.
For starters, collagen is the
connective tissue to tissue structures, which includes the spinal discs,
joint cartilage, blood vessels, muscles as well as organs such as the heart,
lungs, prostate and liver.
As a polypeptide molecule,
collagen is very important and is the most abundant protein
in the body, making up about 65% of our total protein. Pretty important
stuff, right?
In an attempt to capitalize from the growing popularity of this product in light of its amazing benefits, supplement companies are cropping up left
and right. Unfortunately, most don’t put in the necessary time & effort to manufacture
something truly beneficial to your body.
For instance, many companies utilize heat
that denatures the protein peptides, rendering it less effective. At our
office, we use a product that is extracted using a 6-hour enzymatic process that makes it highly
bioavailable and is given to our patients at no cost to them as a part of their Initial Phase of Care so that they may get the best possible results.
