Collagen is a major physiological structural protein that represents about one-third of the total protein in the body and up to 80% of the connective tissue matrix. Distributed throughout the body, the collagen triple helix is a versatile constituent of the connective tissue matrix in the skin, bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, hair & nails.
Each day the body goes through a natural cycle of collagen breakdown and regeneration but after the age of approximately twenty-five collagen renewal and cell turnover gradually decline. The decline in collagen synthesis is part of the intrinsic aging process resulting in less lean body mass and/or weight gain, joint pain, fine lines, thinning hair, weak nails and loss of skin suppleness. The metabolic needs of an aging or very active body may benefit from supplementary amino acids to support the maintenance, repair and health of the connective tissue and skin matrix.*
As a constituent of the extracellular matrix and connective tissue when Hyaluronic Acid production declines with age, so too does the body’s capacity to retain moisture, a contributing factor to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles or joint pain. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan with a high affinity for water that’s an important component of all connective tissue. There is approximately 7-15 grams of hyaluronic acid in the average adult’s body with up to thirty percent turned over every day.* Distributed throughout the body, Hyaluronic Acid keeps collagen and elastin hydrated as a biological tissue lubricant in the extracellular matrix.* Hyaluronic Acid also plays a role in the complex process of tissue repair and wound healing.* In the body, one of Hyaluronic Acid’s primary functions is to bind water to tissues as well as lubricate moveable parts of the body such as joints and eyes.* Healthy levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin matrix contribute to its hydrated and glowing appearance.*
Advanced Connective Tissue Formula is a professional-strength dietary supplement that provides specialized nutritional support to meet the metabolic needs of the connective tissue and skin matrix.* Micronized hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III is a 100% natural source of 19 concentrated amino acids (beef). Amino acids are the basic building blocks used by the body to maintain, grow and repair tissue.* Collagen Type I & III is an excellent source lysine, alanine, arginine, glycine, proline and hydroxyproline with glycine concentrations 8 times that of milk and proline more than triple that of beef protein food sources* Advanced Connective Tissue Formula is highly bioavailable and bioactive, neutral in taste and comes in an easy to use powder format.*
Advanced Connective Tissue Formula is a rich source of nature's moisturizer, Hyaluronic Acid. Advanced Connective Tissue Formula is fortified with four water-soluble vitamins that are important to the cycle of collagen production and protein metabolism; vitamin C, vitamin B12, folic acid and biotin.* Vitamin C is a cofactor in the Vitamin C-dependant collagen synthesis process.*
