Super Collagen Powder Type 1 & 3: The word "collagen" is derived from the word Kolla the Greek word for glue. Collagen is the strong fiber that weaves throughout our body for strength and support to literally hold the body together similar to glue yet stronger than steel wire. Daily the body repeats a cycle of collagen breakdown and rebuilding. As we age the process changes and it is estimated that since the body slows down in the rebuilding phases the body loses collagen at a rate of 1.5% per year from age 25 onwards. This collagen breakdown is what causes most visible signs of aging including wrinkles sagging skin joint pain and brittle nails.

The collagen peptides type 1 & 3 in Super Collagen support collagen in tendons ligaments hair skin nails and lean muscle. These two types of collagen are the main types found in connective tissue making up 90% of the body's total collagen content. Super Collagen is rich in hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine which are two key amino acids specific only to collagen and especially important to collagen production.
