Doctor's Best Collagen Types 1 & 3

There are various types of collagen, but the two most prevalent in the human body are types I and III. In fact, type I collagen is the most abundant protein, present in almost every tissue.1 Bone contains almost exclusively type I collagen, which confers structural strength and prevents bone fragility. Deficient or defective collagen production, often associated with aging, is a risk factor for fractures and other bone deformities. Type I collagen is also the major protein in skin connective tissue, responsible for providing skin with its tensile strength and resiliency.

Type III collagen is found at high levels in cardiovascular tissue and newly developing skin, essential for the proper development of these systems. Types I and III collagen are frequently found together, as each form complements the structural integrity of the other. Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen and participates in nearly every step of the process.

DOCTOR'S BEST COLLAGEN TYPES 1 AND 3 contains BSE-Free hydrolyzed collagen protein, contributing to the growth and maintenance of healthy tissues. Collagen, the most abundant protein in our bodies, is referred to as the "glue" that holds us together, as it is found in our skin, bones, muscles, blood vessels, and digestive system. Collagen is the structural protein essential for the strength and flexibility of bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, hair, skin, nails, and other tissues throughout the body.

The addition of Vitamin C to the formula is important, as it is a required nutrient for collagen synthesis. SUPPORTS HAIR, SKIN & NAILS - Adding collagen to your diet may help improve the strength, elasticity, and moisture in your skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. SUPPORT FOR JOINT COMFORT, MOBILITY & QUALITY OF LIFE – Collagen assists with the conversion of essential nutrients in forming various tissues needed for strong muscles, skin, and joints.* ENHANCES YOUR SKIN HEALTH – Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body that helps repair skin and keep it strong. As we age, our natural production slows down, and certain lifestyle factors can contribute to the breakdown of collagen, making our skin appear dull and quickening the aging process.
