background reading
Collagen is the most abundant protein in humans representing about 25-30% of total protein in the body. Structurally, collagen is long, fibrous and possesses a high tensile strength, which means that it can withstand being stretched without breaking. The high tensile strength of collagen makes it useful as a component of connective tissue in many areas of the body. Collagen is the main component of skin, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bones
Collagen has a complex structure composed of three polypeptide chains packaged into triple helix configuration.
There are different types of collagen proteins found in the body. Among them, type 1, 3 and 2 are abundant.
Type 1 collagen is the most abundant collagen in mammals and found in skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
Type 2 is the most abundant collagen in the cartilage.
Collagen & hyaluronic acid
The skin is the largest organ of the human body, contributing 15-20% of our body weight. Skin is composed of a large amount of connective tissues, such as collagen. One material often found closely associated with collagen is hyaluronic acid (HA). In skin, HA acts to assist in the retention of moisture. HA is a chain-like molecule, consisting of two different sugar units (glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine), that can range greatly in size—up to 50,000 units in length.
Together with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, HA is a chief component of the extracellular matrix. HA is also a major component of synovial fluid in joints and helps increase its viscosity. As a component of cartilage, along with collagen, HA is part of the coating that surrounds each cell.
However, in some joint conditions, changes occur in HA that lead to degradation of cartilage. Like Jell-O (which consists of gelatin), HA holds onto large amounts of water, helps support the resilience of cartilage and acts as part of the fluid matrix for joint lubrication.
BioCell Collagen II
Strategies aimed at preventing skin aging include sun avoidance, sunscreens, antioxidants and promoting collagen production. BioCell Collagen II is a superior collagen supplement for combating the signs of aging. BioCell Collagen II is a clinically researched, patented and 100% natural dietary ingredient that supports joint and skin health.
BioCell Collagen II has been used safely and successfully by millions of consumers, and has several clinical studies supporting its effectiveness.
BioCell Collagen II provides low molecular weight HA and other hydrolyzed connective tissue proteins for improved absorption. It also provides chondroitin sulfate—the most abundant glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in the body—and a compound that promotes a healthy inflammatory response.
With its complex of absorbable collagen, HA and chondroitin sulfate, BioCell Collagen II plays an important role in the body’s ability to maintain healthy connective tissues and promote youthful-looking skin.
Jarrow Formulas Type II Collagen is a low molecular weight, water-soluble glycosaminoglycan complex completely derived from chicken sternum cartilage. Type II Collagen has clinically documented bioavailability, and has been shown to support joint health and skin hydration.
