Description
CollaGEN features three clinically studied ingredients that support the natural healing process and help maintain the structure of connective tissue. Unlike most therapies that merely block joint pain and discomfort from exercise, often inhibiting regeneration and depleting essential nutrients like magnesium and vitamin C, CollaGEN promotes joint and connective tissue health. Its components—FORTIGEL®, Tendaxion®, and Mobilee®—work to protect and preserve cartilage, tendons, ligaments, fascia, bones, and the intervertebral discs of the spine.
Overview
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the skin and connective tissues of the body, with approximately 29 different types identified. About 90% of collagen in the body consists of type I and type II collagen. Type I collagen is found in tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, bones, organs, heart valves, and blood vessels. Type II collagen makes up 70% of the body’s cartilaginous mass, including hyaline and articular cartilage, and the intervertebral discs. Over time, factors such as age, lifestyle, genetics, previous injury, inflammation, and biomechanical instability can lead to the breakdown of collagen and slow down healthy collagen synthesis.
